The transference of research results to practise: Organization and implementation outcomes of iCBT in primary care – a mixed methods study using the RE-AIM framework

• Background: Healthcare systems all over the world are working in dynamic and resource-constrained contexts. Implementation science plays a critical role in ensuring that costly research results are implemented and improve public health. Implementation of iCBT in regular care has given mixed results and has rarely been documented on the basis of a scientific framework for implementation research. Aim: The overall aim of the present study is to contribute to knowledge about how iCBT can be implemented and organized in primary care. The current study also explores naturalistic variability in two different organizational formats, concentrated and decentralized. Method: A mixed quantitative-qualitative design was used to identify factors that impact the implementation of iCBT across multiple levels, including patient, therapists, leaders and organization. The scientific framework RE-AIM with the dimensions reach (those in the target group participating in the program), effectiveness (effects after completion of the program), adoption (actors who accept the program), implementation (compliance with the program according to protocol), maintenance (sustainability over time) was used to evaluate the implementation. Results: 104 primary care centres participated in the study. Outcomes on patient-data (n=1979) were gathered between 2018 and 2021 from the quality register SibeR. Fifty-four iCBT-therapists, answered the NoMAD-questionnaire and fifteen leaders were interviewed. The materials are currently being analysed.
