Defining the external implementation context: an integrative systematic literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proper implementation of evidence-based interventions is necessary for their full impact to be realized. However, the majority of research to date has overlooked facilitators and barriers existing outside the boundaries of the implementing organization(s).
