Operationalization and summary of the ten implementation variables considered in predicting change in social cognitions

Implementation variables	Abbreviation	Continuous variable	Dichotomous variable*
		Range	Yes	No
Presenter characteristics
Seminar number using the new CMCL curriculum	CMCL#	1–4
Years the presenter has been part of CMCL staff	CMCLyears	0-5
Whether the presenter is a HCP themselves	HCPpresenter		66	26
Intervention delivery components
Number of attendees present	Attendees	8–77
Duration (minutes)	Duration	60–120
Parasport athlete present at seminar to share his/her experience with the role his/her HCP played in his/her LTPA success	Athlete		85	7
Parasport equipment available for viewing and use by attendees	Equipment		42	50
Educational resources about LTPA for people with a physical disability distributed to attendees	Resources		87	5
Inclusion of audio-visual component (e.g., photos, videos) not part of standard CMCL curriculum	AVadded		14	78
Partner with community organization	Partner		21	71

Note. AV: Audiovisual; CMCL: ‘Changing Minds, Changing Lives’; HCP: Healthcare professional; LTPA: Leisure-time physical activity. Data for the presenter characteristics were extracted from presenter demographic questionnaires completed prior to interventionist training. Data for the intervention delivery components were extracted from the Presenter Checklists that were completed for 14 of the 15 seminars delivered to HCPs during the study period.

*Number of participants exposed to each implementation variable over the 14 seminars for which Presenter Checklists are available. The seminar that is missing a Presenter Checklist had five participants attend; hence, frequencies in the last column add up to 92.
