Exploring the barriers and facilitators of implementing family-focused child development programmes in real-world settings: a scoping review
Findings highlight the importance of early and ongoing assessment of contextual factors, particularly those influencing families' opportunity to engage. By examining barriers and facilitators reported in existing implementation science and practice literature, this manuscript sheds light on important multi-level implementation determinants for researchers, healthcare organisations and policymakers to tailor and improve implementation efforts of child development programmes in their respective contexts.
