Key Take-Aways

The need to understand the contextual influences that subvert,

neutralize, intensify or otherwise influence interventions is well recognized.

But, the role that context plays in the design and evaluation of health

and social care interventions remains understudied.

Mixed-methods studies are likely to be critical.

– Researchers should expend greater effort earlier in the development and evaluation process to optimize interventions, identify causal mechanisms and characterize contextual influences. – The development of quantitative measures to explore structural features of context should be a future focus, as should better reporting of interventions and the development of guidance to support explicit descriptions of context. – Encouraging the conduct of mixed-method process evaluations alongside trials and other evaluations will require new norms and expectations of research and associated funding commitments, attention to collaborative relationships and changes in publishing practices.
