Despite continuing efforts to reduce tobacco use in the USA, decline in smoking rates have stalled and smoking remains a major contributor to preventable death. Implementation science could potentially improve uptake and impact of evidence-based tobacco control interventions; however, no previous studies have systematically examined how implementation science has been used in this field. Our scoping review will describe the use of implementation science in tobacco control in the USA, identify relevant gaps in research and suggest future directions for implementation science application to tobacco control.
Our team, including a medical research librarian, will conduct a scoping review guided primarily by Arksey and O'Malley's methodology. We will search English language peer-reviewed literature published from 2000 to 31 December 2020 for terms synonymous with 'tobacco use', 'prevention', 'cessation' and 'implementation science'. The databases included in this search are MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (ProQuest), ERIC (ProQuest) and the Cochrane Library (Wiley). We will include cohort and quasi-experimental studies, single-group experiments and randomised trials that report qualitative and/or quantitative data related to applying implementation science to the planning and/or delivery of interventions to prevent or decrease the use of tobacco products. Studies must target potential or active tobacco users, intervention providers such as educators or healthcare professionals, or US policy-makers. A minimum of two reviewers will independently examine each title and abstract for relevance, and each eligible full text for inclusion and analysis. Use of implementation science, demonstrated by explicit reference to implementation frameworks, strategies or outcomes, will be extracted from included studies and summarised.
This study is exempt from ethics board approval. We will document the equity-orientation of included studies with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Equity Extension checklist. Results will be submitted for conferences and peer-reviewed journals.

尽管美国持续努力减少烟草使用，但吸烟率的下降已经停滞，吸烟仍然是可预防死亡的主要原因。实施科学有可能提高基于证据的烟草控制干预措施的采用率和影响力；然而，以前没有研究系统地检查实施科学在该领域的应用情况。我们的范围综述将描述实施科学在美国烟草控制中的应用，确定研究中的相关差距，并为实施科学在烟草控制中的应用提出未来方向。
我们的团队包括一名医学研究图书馆员，将主要根据 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的方法进行范围综述。我们将搜索 2000 年至 2020 年 12 月 31 日期间发表的英语同行评议文献，使用与“烟草使用”、“预防”、“戒烟”和“实施科学”同义的术语。此次搜索包括 MEDLINE（PubMed）、Embase（Ovid）、CINAHL（EBSCOhost）、PsycINFO（ProQuest）、ERIC（ProQuest）和 Cochrane Library（Wiley）在内的数据库。我们将包括队列和准实验研究、单组实验和随机试验，这些研究报告与将实施科学应用于规划和/或提供干预措施以预防或减少烟草制品使用相关的定性和/或定量数据。研究必须针对潜在或活跃的烟草使用者、教育者或医疗保健专业人员等干预提供者，或美国政策制定者。至少有两名审查员将独立检查每个标题和摘要的相关性，并对每个合格的全文进行纳入和分析。将从纳入的研究中提取并总结实施科学的使用情况，明确参考实施框架、策略或结果。
本研究无需伦理委员会批准。我们将使用系统评价和荟萃分析-股权扩展清单（Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Equity Extension checklist）记录纳入研究的公平性。研究结果将提交给会议和同行评议期刊。
