Measuring determinants of implementation behavior: psychometric properties of a questionnaire based on the theoretical domains framework.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To be able to design effective strategies to improve healthcare professionals' implementation behaviors, a valid and reliable questionnaire is needed to assess potential implementation determinants.
