1. What supports, such as online resources, marketing materials or a toolkit, are available to help you implement and use the intervention? How will available materials affect implementation in your setting?

Inner setting

Culture: How would you describe the culture of your organization? Of your own setting or unit? How do you think your organization’s culture (general beliefs, values, assumptions that people embrace) will affect the implementation of the intervention? To what extent are new ideas embraced and used to make improvements in your organization

Implementation climate: What is the general level of receptivity in your organization to implementing the intervention?

Tension for change: Is there a strong need for this intervention? How essential is this intervention to meet the needs of the individuals served by your organization or other organizational goals and objectives? How do people feel about current programs/practices/process that are available related to the intervention?

Compatibility: How well does the intervention fit with your values and norms and the values and norms within the organization?

Implementation success outcomes

Executing: Has the intervention been implemented according to the implementation plan? Why or why not?

External facilitation: Was the external facilitator approachable? In what ways and to what extent was the external facilitator available to you (e.g., set office hours, on call, available by phone, email, text, other?) Were these modes of communication sufficient? Would in-person facilitation have been preferred? Why or why not? How often did you solicit external facilitation support? How often was it offered without solicitation? Should it have been offered more or less frequently? Why or why not?

Self-efficacy: How confident are you that you will be able to successfully implement (post-implementation: were you able to successfully implement) the intervention? Why? How confident do you think your colleagues feel about using the knowledge they will gain (post-implementation: gained) from the intervention?
