The four constructs of normalisation process theory (NPT) mapped against practitioner groups

NPT construct	Networks of young person-oriented practitioners and managers	Other practitioners and managers who work with young people
Coherence: do people make sense of DAH?	See how DAH extends and is related to other approaches to care of young people; relatively shared understanding of purpose of DAH; understanding of impact of DAH on their work and see potential value and worth of DAH	Diverse views on relationship to other approaches; lack of shared understanding of purpose of DAH; diverse understanding of potential impact of DAH on their work; uncertainty around of potential value and worth (especially, given competing demands)
Cognitive participation: do people get involved with providing DAH and stay committed?	They are the key people driving DAH forward; they see DAH as legitimate, generally core, part of role; are very willing to work with others to enable DAH and motivated to deliver DAH over time	Aware that key people are driving DAH forward (key young person-orientated practitioners); lack of agreement that DAH legitimate part of work; some are willing to work with others to enable DAH; some are motivated to deliver over time
Collective action: do people make DAH work in practice?	DAH is operationalisable, especially within network; trust people in network to enact DAH, but less trust beyond; right mix of skills and training to undertake DAH in network, again, less beyond; in one site, clear support for DAH in organisation	Diverse views on workability of DAH and on trust about whether the right people are enacting DAH; lack of skills to undertake DAH, with training offered a one site; in one site, clear support for DAH in organisation
Reflexive monitoring: do people evaluate DAH as worthwhile?	Aware of impact of DAH; assess DAH as worthwhile and individually assess DAH as working well; enact DAH flexibly	Unsure of impact of DAH; unsure of whether worthwhile (given competing demands) or working well in practice; may enact some elements of DAH flexibly
