Questions for reflection

Intervention characteristics

Which intervention characteristics interact with the setting, the context and the implementation? How do these intervention characteristics interact with the setting, the context and the implementation?

Context

How do aspects of the context interact with the intervention? Which aspects of the context interact with the implementation of the intervention?

Implementation theory

Which theoretical underpinning guides the implementation? How does this theory interact with the setting and the context? How does it interact with the intervention?

Implementation process

Which stages of the implementation process are passed through during implementation? How does the implementation process interact with the setting and the context? How does it interact with the intervention?

Implementation strategy

Which strategies are employed during implementation? How do these implementation strategies interact with the setting and the context? How do they interact with the intervention?

Implementation agents

Which agents are involved in the implementation effort? How do these implementation agents interact with the setting and context? How do they interact with the intervention?

Implementation outcomes

Which implementation outcomes are reported with the setting and the context? How do these implementation outcomes interact with the intervention outcomes?

Setting

Which aspects of the setting interact with the intervention? How does the setting interact with the intervention? How does it interact with the context? How does it interact with implementation?
