Note: ¹reference of further paper(s) in which results of the contextual analysis were published in italics; ²CE = study design clinical effectiveness, I = study design implementation, RCT = randomized controlled trial; Hybrid Type 1 = prime focus on testing intervention effectiveness, and second, studying implementation. Hybrid Type 2 = equal focus on testing intervention effectiveness and implementation strategies; Hybrid Type 3 = prime focus on testing effectiveness of implementation strategies, and second, assessing the intervention; ³Process evaluation planned or results described as part of the intervention implementation study: Y = yes, N = not reported, U = unclear
