Summary of the implementation strategies’ defining characteristics

Characteristics	Definition	% (N)
Actor	Identify who enacts the strategy	98% (254/258)
Action	Specific actions, steps, or processes that need to be enacted	100% (258/258)
Action Target	1) Specify targets according to conceptual models of implementation 2) Identify unit of analysis for measuring implementation outcomes	95% (245/258)
Temporality	Specify when the strategy is used	59% (151/258)
Dose	Specify dosage of implementation strategy	52% (134/258)
Implementation outcome affected	Identify and measure the implementation outcome(s) that are affected by each strategy	9% (23/258)
Justification	Justification for choice of implementation strategies	6% (16/258)

Characteristics and definitions were utilized from Proctor 2013. The justification definition was adjusted to reflect an argument for the implementation strategy by noting an implementation science framework or guidance and not an evidence-base for the intervention
