From: Tracking implementation strategies: a description of a practical approach and early findings
Strategy characteristic | How information was derived | Example 1 | Example 2 |
---|---|---|---|
Label | Activities listed in logs were coded to strategies in Powell compilation | Tailor strategies to overcome barriers (Screening) | Conduct educational meetings (screening) |
Action | Activities included in logs | Meetings, emails & phone calls to plan screening work-flows, identify promising training approaches & supports | Training on use of new screening tools |
Actor | Individuals associated with activities in logs | Screening implementation team Leadership team | Screening implementation team BH team leader |
Target | Interpreted by the evaluation team (drawing on program logic model and plan) | Intake workers’ routines | Intake unit workers’ and supervisors’ knowledge and skills |
Temporality | Timing based on dates of activities included in log | Mainly during implementation planning (Months 2–9; prior to launch) Limited use in month 10 (launch) | Prior to launch, 5 months post-launch |
Dose | Based on duration, and number of individuals associated with activity on log | Total activities: 32 52.5 person-hours total | Total activities: 5 Individual dose: 1 session (2 hours) Total offered: 5 sessions (10 hours total) |
Outcome | Interpreted by the evaluation team (drawing on program logic model and plan) | Feasibility | Adoption, penetration and fidelity to the screening process |
Justification | Extracted from the literature based on theoretical/empirical work | Strategies must often be tailored to overcome context-specific barriers [13–16] | Training supports knowledge acquisition |
