Table 1 Overview of data sources, questions, and response categories that constitute each of the concepts that are involved in the implementation (delivery (content and quality) and receipt (participation and responsiveness)). All response categories were scored into a scale from 0 to 100 (numbers given in parentheses after each of the response categories)

From: Operationalizing a model to quantify implementation of a multi-component intervention in a stepped-wedge trial
