The PIECES project aims to evaluate the Primary Cancer Prevention Implementation Toolkit (PCP-IT), an online implementation support toolkit that aids implementation teams in improving the implementation of primary cancer prevention programs (PCPs). The primary aim of the PIECES study is to support and learn from the process of selecting, adapting, and implementing existing evidence-based programs to improve implementation outcomes and by that, improve the reach and effectiveness of primary cancer prevention programmes in real-world settings. The study objectives are:

Competencies in Implementation
Participants are asked to rate how skilled they feel in various implementation competencies. Respondents evaluate their skills for each item on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from not at all to extremely (not at all, slightly, moderately, very, extremely).

The local implementation teams for this study, referred to as the implementers of the Primary Cancer Prevention Implementation Toolkit (PCP-IT), are the primary users of the toolkit and play a central role in tailoring and implementing cancer prevention interventions. Each team is responsible for selecting and adapting the intervention to meet local needs and developing a tailored implementation plan. Each team is led by an implementation lead, who directly oversees the implementation process and ensures the team effectively uses the PCP-IT to guide their work. In some cases, the implementation lead may also serve as the implementation coordinator. The coordinator's role is to provide higher-level oversight and may involve coordinating multiple implementation teams across various locations, such as hospitals, or focusing on a single team at one site.
The PCP-IT is an online implementation support toolkit which aims to support implementation teams in improving the implementation of primary cancer prevention programs (PCPs). The PCP-IT builds upon the theory-base and the proven to be effective ItFits tool. The PCP-IT encompasses a total of six modules which are designed to guide implementers through the process of selecting and adapting PCP programs, identifying and addressing barriers, and developing and applying tailored implementation strategies. The toolkit includes: (1) a repository of PCP programs, (2) a repository of determinants of practice, (3) a repository of implementation strategies, (4) stakeholder consultation at all stages, (5) an online community of implementation practitioners, and (6) structured stepped process flows, instructions, examples and worksheets for working with the materials. https://global.itfits-toolkit.com/
