Description

This model assesses the transferability of health interventions by identifying and systemizing influencing criteria, including facilitators and barriers. Two models emerged from the systematic review of research about the transferability of health interventions:

  1. The PIET-T conceptual model explains the underlying mechanism of the transferability of health interventions.
  2. The PIET-T process model serves as a practical guide for conducting a transferability assessment.

Steps for Using Method/Tool

The PIET-T conceptual and process models include synthesized criteria, facilitators and barriers that serve as a theoretical basis for determining the transferability of health interventions. The model guides users through five components:

  1. Population
  2. Intervention
  3. Environment
  4. Transfer of the intervention
  5. Transferability
