Patterns in bottlenecks for implementation of health promotion interventions: a cross-sectional observational study on intervention-context interactions in the Netherlands.

ABSTRACT:

Background

From a complex systems perspective, implementation should be understood as the introduction of an intervention in a context with which it needs to interact in order to achieve its function in terms of improved health. The presence of intervention-context interactions could mean that during implementation particular patterns of crucial interaction points might arise. We examined the presence of - and regularities in - such 'bottlenecks for implementation', as this could create opportunities to predict and intervene in potential implementation problems.

Methods
