We expect a clinically relevant reduction in the proportion of residents with PR as a result of the implementation of both interventions of the programmes.
PMTCT programmes adopted different policies to ensure successful intervention of the programmes.
The background, design, conceptual model and interventions of the FINALE programme have been described.
This is most likely due to the suboptimal translation of the provider-oriented interventions of the RECODE programme into patient-oriented interventions, the suboptimal implementation of the interventions, the relatively mild COPD population and the national reforms in COPD care.
Second, it is questionable whether the pragmatic provider-oriented interventions of the RECODE programme (eg, training and education, support in writing practice reform plans, ICT system Zorgdraad) were optimally translated into patient-oriented interventions.
Eighty participants in twenty-seven maternity units were interviewed after the first intervention sequence of the programme.
Other evaluations of similar interventions implemented in the programme setting have reported wide variations in intervention coverage.
In the evaluation of PASSAGE, we started to draft the programme theory by reviewing the main programme documents, such as the description of the intervention in the programme proposal and the logical framework.
The test will be the quality of the insights generated from the research programme, and the acceptability and effectiveness of the interventions developed within the programme.
We use the framework developed for this study to describe different aspects of curricula and the wider context of programmes and graduates' work settings to identify if and how studies addressed the intervention logic of the programmes.
Semi-structured interviews covered a number of key areas (see Appendix 1): the implementation and receipt of the intervention; the acceptability and perceived usefulness of various components of the intervention; the impact of the programme; and recommendations for improvement.
