Community-based participatory research contributions to intervention research: the intersection of science and practice to improve health equity. (2010, background): “To its credit, this includes a core assumption that efficacy and effectiveness trials require adaptations to local settings and consideration within complex systems.(11) Nonetheless, this NIH definition presents a unidirectional approach, which can privilege academic knowledge and methods, and it do”
Studying complexity in health services research: desperately seeking an overdue paradigm shift (2018, background): “Crucially, complexity is a feature of the system(s), not merely a characteristic of interventions [15, 16].”
Using logic models to capture complexity in systematic reviews (2011, background): “Seeing the broader picture also might point to those policies or contextual factors that might attenuate or boost program effects (Hawe et al., 2009).”
Implementation, context and complexity (2016, background): “) To make an intervention truly “an event” in the existing system, that is to meet the definition of an event being defined as “something significant that happens” then the intervention would need to change the future trajectory of the system’s dynamics [63].”
A realist evaluation of community-based participatory research: partnership synergy, trust building and related ripple effects (2015, neutral): “267 [32].”
The need for a complex systems model of evidence for public health. (2017, neutral): “Researchers should also be prepared to modify interventions in response to observed changes in systems that might learn and adapt in ways that lead to dilution of the desired intervention effect.(17)”
Beyond Adoption: A New Framework for Theorizing and Evaluating Nonadoption, Abandonment, and Challenges to the Scale-Up, Spread, and Sustainability of Health and Care Technologies (2017, background): “Chambers et al’s dynamic sustainability framework recognizes that, in order to be sustained, an innovation must adapt to its unique local environment and evolve over time [115], echoing Hawe et al’s conceptualization of interventions as “events in [complex] systems” [116].”
Exploring a Mindfulness Meditation Program on the Mental Health of Upper Primary Children: A Pilot Study (2010, background): “The process of introducing mindfulness meditation rather than the content itself of the lessons was being evaluated in this project (Hawe et al, 2009).”
