Parallel and stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial designs

A: Comparison of study designs: parallel and stepped wedge designs for 12 clusters and seven time points; 1 = the intervention is implemented, 0 = the intervention is not implemented;

B: Overview of potential fidelity patterns: increase of fidelity over six time points by line type (fast, linear and slow) modelled by different types of functions (logarithmic, linear, exponential)
