Exploring long-term follow-up of effective implementation trials in schools: a secondary review
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review to quantify the sustainment of EBIs in schools following an effective implementation trial and to assess the extent to which best-practice sustainment principles were applied. Few studies described sustainment planning or used comparable follow-up measures. Improving long-term outcome measurement and integrating sustainment frameworks into planning and implementation could help sustain effective school health promotion EBIs.
