Components, operationalization and methods of the process evaluation are summarized in Table 2.> The economic evaluation will be performed from a societal perspective, which implies that all relevant medical and non-medical costs and effects are taken into account [ 25].
For constructs that already have an established operationalization, the method can be used either to refine these measures or, should non-predictive facets not emerge, to increase confidence in them and their underlying models.
Such models allow for more rigorous examination and operationalization of the method to guide research.
Allostatic load was operationalized based on methods described by Seeman et al. (2008) and Bird et al. (2010), although this operationalization does not include any stress markers.
This may well relate to our operationalization of the TTO method, which has been shown to be influential before [ 3].
Although ergonomics has paid increasing attention to the perspective of complexity, methods for its operationalization are scarce.
Some seminal studies on IC outside of healthcare have a stronger foundation in existing literature and theory, more well-defined concepts and clear operationalization of concepts into measureable factors, more rigorous methods (or more complete reporting of methods and limitations), and more comprehensive and in-depth questionnaires on IC [ 9, 31].
First, the STB method enables a detailed operationalization of individuals' lifestyles (Hindelang et al. [1978]), routine activities (Felson and Boba [2010]; Osgood et al. [1996]) and exposure to behavior settings (Barker [1968]; Wikström et al. [2012a]).
The approach to using Q-RARA, developed through the AGPNS, demonstrated three main features: (1) a high degree of acceptability in the field, (2) the operationalization of a modified QUAL -qual method, and (3) quality and rigor.
Scholarship on local adaptation policy has proliferated in recent years, but insufficient attention has been paid to operationalization of the unit of analysis, and methods employed are typically inadequate to draw inferences about variation across cases.
