As issued by the authors
Evidence for community-delivered interventions to improve CV health behaviours is emerging in various community settings
Evidence-based practices were identified, selected and culturally adapted through community engagement, particularly in faith-based and social service/other settings (eg, salons/barbershops)
The Designing for Dissemination and Sustainability approach supports considering contextual factors in selecting and adapting evidence-based practices
Development of implementation strategies must engage those who will implement the intervention and the organization in which it will be implemented
