Influence of external contextual factors on the implementation of health and social care interventions into practice within or across countries —a protocol for a ‘best fit’ framework synthesis

DiscussionThe review will lead to a comprehensive framework for understanding the influence of external contextual factors on implementation, particularly when spreading health and social care interventions within or across countries. The framework is anticipated to help identify factors explaining the decline and variability in effectiveness of interventions and assessing the prospects of implementation effectiveness, when spreading interventions. We do not intend to only develop another stand-alone implementation framework but one that can be used in conjunction with existing frameworks. The framework can be honed and validated in future empirical research.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42018084485
