Cost

Costs of the intervention and costs associated with implementing the intervention including investment, supply, and opportunity costs.

Domain: Intervention Characteristics

Siblings

Costs of the intervention and those associated with implementing an intervention are negatively associated with implementation [1][2]. It is important to differentiate this construct from Available Resources. In many contexts, costs are difficult to capture and Available Resources may have a more direct influence on implementation. 

Inclusion Criteria
