  1. “Importance” contains “H” for “High” (i.e., strategy must be enacted because it targets a highly important barrier), “M” for “Moderate” (i.e., the strategy should be prioritized if resources are available), or a “L” for “Low” (i.e., strategy should only be enacted if time and resources are available). “Goal” contains a 1, 2, or 3 to indicate which of the top 3 goals the strategy would primarily target. “Responsible” reflects whether the strategy should be enacted by the “IT” (i.e., Implementation Team at Wolverine Human Services) or “B” (i.e., Beck Institute or other external experts). “Feasibility” contains either “H” for “High” or “L” for “Low” in terms of the ease with which a given strategy could be enacted. “Impact” contains a score from 1 to 3 to reflect the degree to which the strategy would likely impact the fidelity with which CBT would be delivered. “Implementation Category” is derived from an expert-engaged concept mapping exercise in which nine conceptually distinct categories emerged: Adapt and Tailor to the Context, Change Infrastructure, Develop Stakeholder Interrelationships, Engage Consumers, Provide Interactive Assistance, Support Clinicians, Train and Educate Stakeholders, Utilize Financial Strategies, Use Evaluative and Iterative Strategies. Implementation Strategy contains the name of the strategy to be enacted. Timeline: Monitor 1 year post formal training
