Bridging the gap: translating and simplifying CFIR 2.0 for French practitioners in implementation science.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) 2.0 is widely used in implementation projects but can be difficult for non-researchers to apply due to its complexity. While a French version of the original CFIR exists, CFIR 2.0 had not yet been translated.
