Implementing a context-driven awareness programme addressing household air pollution and tobacco: a FRESH AIR study.

ABSTRACT: Most patients with chronic respiratory disease live in low-resource settings, where evidence is scarcest.

Feasibility and acceptability, evaluated by the modified Conceptual Framework for Implementation Fidelity, were high: we reached ~15,000 Kyrgyz and ~10,000 Vietnamese citizens within budget (~€11,000/country). The right engaged stakeholders, high compatibility with local contexts and flexibility facilitated programme success. Scores on lung health awareness questionnaires inc
