Outline

Text

Trials – whether applied to interventions targeting individuals or concerned with improving population health – often ignore or control for contextual factors. Such factors can, however, greatly influence the successful implementation as well as effectiveness of curative and preventative interventions at scale, and tend to be responsible for variation in findings between settings. As we increasingly recognize the importance of context, methodological attempts to understand and tackle contextual influences abound. This symposium makes the case that context deserves more attention in research and practice. It will provide an overview of recently developed frameworks and approaches to capture, understand and deal with the influence of context in primary research and systematic reviews.
