We mapped the interview data onto the Consolidated Framework of Implementation Research (CFIR), and present the relevant constructs needed to be considered for future initiatives.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Participants identified four types of family-forward innovations implemented across four public safety sectors: i) community building, ii) social norming, iii) building awareness and skills, and iv) communication channels. Leadership, resources, and a climate of readiness were instrumental in the implementation of family-forward initiatives.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Knowledge of these implementation constructs can be used to improve and adapt family-forward initiatives for the future as well as for development and implementation of initiatives for other public safety sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10554,"journal":{"name":"Comprehensive psychiatry","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 152581"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143388111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
