PIECES - Towards Large-Scale Adaptation and Tailored Implementation of Primary Cancer Prevention Programs
Sponsor: Hidde van der Ploeg
Summary
The PIECES project aims to evaluate the Primary Cancer Prevention Implementation Toolkit (PCP-IT), an online implementation support toolkit that aids implementation teams in improving the implementation of primary cancer prevention programs (PCPs). The primary aim of the PIECES study is to support and learn from the process of selecting, adapting, and implementing existing evidence-based programs to improve implementation outcomes and by that, improve the reach and effectiveness of primary cancer prevention programmes in real-world settings. The study objectives are: 1. To assess whether the PCP-IT is usable and if implementation teams are satisfied with the tool; 2. To assess what works for whom in using the PCP-IT for selecting, adapting, and implementing PCP programs; 3. To assess whether the PCP-IT is feasible and effective in improving acceptability, adoption, penetration, and sustainable implementation of the PCP programs. The PCP-IT will be used by various implementation settings across 9 countries (8 European countries and Australia). A multi-site case comparison design is used to generate in-depth knowledge about the performance and working mechanisms of the PCP-IT. Similarities, differences, and patterns across the different implementation sites will be investigated using a Realist Evaluation approach.

Primary Cancer Prevention Implementation Toolkit (PCP-IT)
The PCP-IT is an online implementation support toolkit which aims to support implementation teams in improving the implementation of primary cancer prevention programs (PCPs). The PCP-IT builds upon the theory-base and the proven to be effective ItFits tool. The PCP-IT encompasses a total of six modules which are designed to guide implementers through the process of selecting and adapting PCP programs, identifying and addressing barriers, and developing and applying tailored implementation strategies. The toolkit includes: (1) a repository of PCP programs, (2) a repository of determinants of practice, (3) a repository of implementation strategies, (4) stakeholder consultation at all stages, (5) an online community of implementation practitioners, and (6) structured stepped process flows, instructions, examples and worksheets for working with the materials. https://global.itfits-toolkit.com/
