From international guidelines to practice: a multimethod evaluation of <i>BMJ</i> Rapid Recommendations focusing on suitability for adaptation and implementation
Implementability challenges may limit effective use of international guidelines globally. Recognising and reflecting on tensions between rigour, credibility and contextual feasibility may help improve their uptake and value. The next phase of this research will explore strategies to enhance guideline implementability during their development.
