“…Two main perspectives are cited while discussing the implementation theories: top-down or ‘command and control’; and bottom-up or ‘street level bureaucrats’. After years of debate, scholars arrived at the conclusion that synthesizing different aspects of both perspectives is the best approach, which is shared by CIT (Natesan and Marathe, 2015).…”

This study examines the development of anti-domestic-violence policy implementation in an emerging democracy, the country of Georgia. We applied a public policy framework – Contextual Interaction Theory (CIT) – which enabled us to thoroughly examine factors contributing to drawbacks in anti-domestic-violence policy implementation. The CIT framework was enriched by expanding it to the scale of the national anti-domestic-violence policy and placing greater emphasis on the victim. The qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews and media reveals that public policy implementers lack motivation, information and power to be able to really implement the anti-domestic-violence policy. The CIT analysis of domestic violence (DV) policies demonstrates that DV problems are further exacerbated by the contextual factors of societal attitudes in terms of gender inequality and social acceptance of DV, which creates unfavorable context for the realisation of the anti-DV policy. In such circumstances, according to the CIT, only symbolic realisation of a policy takes place. The use of CIT as a tool for the implementation of a policy will provide substantial input into its realisation. Based on this theory, it is crucial to increase information, motivation and power of implementers, as well as change the context for the anti-DV policy to be actually implemented.

“…Policy frameworks can also inform implementation planning and evaluation in D&I research. Although authors have named policy stages since the 1950s [19,20], Sabatier and Mazmanian's Policy Implementation Process Framework was one of the first such frameworks that gained widespread use in policy implementation research [21] and later in health promotion [22]. Yet, available implementation frameworks are not often used to guide implementation strategies or inform why a policy worked in one setting but not another [23].…”

Quantitative measures of health policy implementation determinants and outcomes: a systematic review

et al. 2020

Background Public policy has tremendous impacts on population health. While policy development has been extensively studied, policy implementation research is newer and relies largely on qualitative methods. Quantitative measures are needed to disentangle differential impacts of policy implementation determinants (i.e., barriers and facilitators) and outcomes to ensure intended benefits are realized. Implementation outcomes include acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, compliance/fidelity, feasibility, penetration, sustainability, and costs. This systematic review identified quantitative measures that are used to assess health policy implementation determinants and outcomes and evaluated the quality of these measures. Methods Three frameworks guided the review: Implementation Outcomes Framework (Proctor et al.), Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (Damschroder et al.), and Policy Implementation Determinants Framework (Bullock et al.). Six databases were searched: Medline, CINAHL Plus, PsycInfo, PAIS, ERIC, and Worldwide Political. Searches were limited to English language, peer-reviewed journal articles published January 1995 to April 2019. Search terms addressed four levels: health, public policy, implementation, and measurement. Empirical studies of public policies addressing physical or behavioral health with quantitative self-report or archival measures of policy implementation with at least two items assessing implementation outcomes or determinants were included. Consensus scoring of the Psychometric and Pragmatic Evidence Rating Scale assessed the quality of measures. Results Database searches yielded 8417 non-duplicate studies, with 870 (10.3%) undergoing full-text screening, yielding 66 studies. From the included studies, 70 unique measures were identified to quantitatively assess implementation outcomes and/or determinants. Acceptability, feasibility, appropriateness, and compliance were the most commonly measured implementation outcomes. Common determinants in the identified measures were organizational culture, implementation climate, and readiness for implementation, each aspects of the internal setting. Pragmatic quality ranged from adequate to good, with most measures freely available, brief, and at high school reading level. Few psychometric properties were reported. Conclusions Well-tested quantitative measures of implementation internal settings were under-utilized in policy studies. Further development and testing of external context measures are warranted. This review is intended to stimulate measure development and high-quality assessment of health policy implementation outcomes and determinants to help practitioners and researchers spread evidence-informed policies to improve population health.

“…The same de nitions of public policy and policy implementation were utilized in accordance with the review by Allen et al (36). Speci cally, public policy includes federal/nation, state/province/county, regional unit, or local level legislation or policies mandated by governmental agencies (44,45). The implementation of policy conceptualizes the processes by which the mandate is carried out by public or private organizations (45).…”

Background: Governments in some countries or states/provinces mandate school-based policies intended to improve the health and well-being of primary and secondary students, and in some cases the health of school staff. Examples include mandating a minimum time spent per week in programmed physical activity, mandating provision of healthy foods and limiting fat content of school meals, and banning tobacco products or use on school campuses. Although school health researchers have studied whether schools, districts, or states/provinces are meeting requirements, it is unclear to what extent implementation processes and determinants are assessed. The purposes of the present systematic review of quantitative measures of school policy implementation are to identify quantitative measures of implementation determinants and Proctor model implementation outcomes and assess pragmatic and psychometric properties of such measures.Methods: Peer-reviewed journal articles published 1995-2020 were included if they: 1) had multiple-item quantitative measures of school policy implementation; and 2) addressed overall wellness, tobacco, physical activity, nutrition, obesity prevention, and mental health/bullying/social-emotional learning. The final sample comprised 86 measurement tools from 67 peer-review articles. We extracted study characteristics, such as psychometric and pragmatic measure properties, from included articles based on three frameworks: Implementation Outcomes Framework, 2) Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, and 3) Policy Implementation Determinants Framework.Results: Most implementation tools were developed to measure overall wellness policies which combined multiple policy topics (n=35, 40%) and were in survey form (n=75, 87%). Fidelity was the most frequently prevalent implementation outcome (n=70, 81%), followed by adoption (n=32, 81%). The implementation determinants most assessed were readiness for implementation, including resources (n=43, 50%), leadership (n=42, 49%), and policy communication (n=41, 48%). Overall, measures were low-cost and had easy readability. However, lengthy tools and lack of reported validity/reliability data indicate low transferability.Conclusions: Implementation science can contribute to more complete and rigorous assessment of school health policy implementation processes, which can improve implementation strategies and ultimately the intended health benefits. Several high-quality measures of implementation determinants and implementation outcomes can be applied to school health policy implementation assessment. D&I researchers can also benefit from measurement experiences of school health researchers.
