Table 1 Data extraction

Year

Year of publication

Objective

Summary of publication’s objective(s)

Country

Country where implementation efforts were conducted

Setting

Physical setting where implementation took place (e.g., mental health clinic, church, community center, primary care)

Sector

Sector (e.g., psychology, social work, mental Health, behavioral health, public health)

EBP, Innovation or Intervention

Specific EBP (i.e., the innovation or intervention) implemented

Health focus

Whether a health focus was reported (yes/no)

Study design

Study design as reported in the paper (e.g., prospective, retrospective, hybrid implementation, case study, participant observation)

Study methodology

Study methodology (i.e., qualitative, quantitative, or mixed)

Larger Study Design

Methodology of larger study, if the effort was part of a larger study

Type of EPIS use

How EPIS was used (e.g., study design, data collection, measurement, analysis, coding, and/or reporting/interpretation)

Level of data collection

Level(s) of data collection (e.g. outer context, inner context, multilevel)

Level of analysis

Level(s) of analysis (e.g., provider, team, supervisor, organization, system)

Outer context

Whether outer context factors were assessed (yes/no)

Inner context

Whether inner context factors were assessed (yes/no)

Innovation factors

Whether innovation factors were assessed (yes/no)

Bridging factors

Whether other bridging factors within EPIS were assessed (yes/no)

Implementation strategy

Whether there was a researcher (co)initiated implementation strategy (yes/no) and reported (yes/no)

Implementation outcomes

Implementation outcomes (e.g., feasibility, adoption, fidelity)

Stages

EPIS phase(s) in which implementation factors were assessed: Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment; Phase(s) were rated for the degree to which the authors were explicit in their use, where 0 = phase not included, 1 = implicit inclusion of phase, 2 = explicit inclusion of phase. Explicit inclusion is where the authors overtly included the named phase(s) of EPIS that were included in their study, while implicit inclusion was assessed by the reviewers based on the EPIS phase definitions

Depth

Overall depth of inclusion of EPIS, from 1 = conceptual (e.g., inner and outer context factors were applied to study design but not carried through the study and evaluation phases) to 5 = operationalized (e.g., looked at a few factors incorporated throughout the paper [intro, design, measurement, conclusions] or included all phases)
