Design

Stepped wedge trial.

Participants

Multidisciplinary staff at six Veterans Affairs medical facilities.

Interventions

To encourage site implementation of a multi-component quality improvement intervention, the trial included strategies to improve the development of a CoP: site kickoff meetings, CoP conference calls, and an interactive website (the "Hub").
