Utilizing innovative implementation strategies for familial hypercholesterolemia: Implementation outcomes from the IMPACT-FH study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cascade testing can be highly effective in identifying individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and help prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The IMPACT-FH cascade testing program offered multiple optimized implementation strategies to improve FH cascade testing uptake.

Objective

Guided by the Conceptual Model of Implementation Research, this study assessed the IMPACT-FH cascade testing program's implementation outcomes.

Methods

Implementation outcomes were assessed qualitatively and quantitatively. Interviews were conducted with 33 IMPACT-FH program participants including 15 probands, 12 relatives, and 6 healthcare professionals (HCPs). Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis to investigate implementation outcomes. Descripti
