Advancing sustainability in low-resource settings: development and validation of a sustainability tool for evidence-based interventions and programs
Our research findings contribute to the implementation science literature by providing future researchers or programmers a means to assess factors associated with the long-term delivery and subsequent benefits of evidence-based interventions and programs in African settings. STEPS provides a context-relevant tool for assessing sustainability in the African context and other LMICs.
