PRECIS-2 used as an implementation science tool for global environmental health: A cross-sectional evaluation of the Ecolectivos study protocol to reduce burning of household plastic waste in rural Guatemala.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluate the efficacy of an intervention remain underutilized in community-based environmental health research. RCTs that use a pragmatic design emphasize the effectiveness of interventions in complex, real world settings. Pragmatic trials may be especially relevant when community-based interventions address social and environmental determinants that threaten health equity. The revised Pragmatic Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary (PRECIS-2) is a validated tool developed in 2015 by trialists to ensure that clinical trials are designed to fit their intended purpose, with an assessment of applicability of the trial results to specific contexts. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to ask Ecolectivos study investigators
