Our organizational framework may be conceptually useful at the level of government, policy departments, civil society organizations, programme implementers and also researchers, in identifying actors involved in the research-to-policy process, and when determining which barriers and facilitators exist and to troubleshoot any potential hindrances that may occur.
Although in one study barriers of and facilitators to PA in adults with CP have been explored [ 19], no studies have been done to investigate if the same barriers and facilitators exist for adolescents with CP [who are in phases of developing their adult lifestyle].
Existing literature highlights some of the barriers and facilitators that exist because of the interaction between personal, contextual and behavioural factors.
The TDF (in its practical form) is particularly well suited to this kind of "drilling down" because it begins with an exploration of all the possible barriers and facilitators that might exist within a specific local context and then quickly drills down to those that are most salient for the people involved.
To our knowledge, no study has explored how patients perceive the dynamic relationship between barriers to, and potential facilitators of, daily medication adherence, and no classification system of potential facilitators exists on which to survey specific groups of patients before planning a knowledge translation intervention.
In the quantification of these barriers, frequencies of found barriers and facilitators will be calculated.
(4) what barriers and facilitators for the process of change exist in the nursing home.
The first steps to achieving this are to find out what high quality services exist, and what the barriers and facilitators are to their successful implementation for people from under-served groups.
Barriers and facilitators for knowledge translation can be identified.
This decision seems appropriate considering the fact that little is known about PA related barriers and facilitators in adolescents with CP and no suitable quantitative measures exist to investigate this concept.
