Finally, helps develop evidence-informed understanding of three important issues:- Are there ‘good’ reasons for ‘bad’ implementation? What looks from the outside like implementation failure may from the inside seem entirely justified.- Do the organisational influences which affect screening differ from those which affect brief intervention?- Horses for courses? Implementation in different working contexts demands substantial adjustments to research-validated interventions - with what impacts on effectiveness?
