Implementation considerations provide a comparative assessment of how the interventions performed against important criteria difficult to capture in the quantitative analyses, including strength of evidence, equity, acceptability, feasibility and sustainability.
Given that the technical cost-effectiveness results are only one consideration in the decision making process, it is important to consider the league table results, along with the implementation considerations. The table is ordered based on the strength of evidence criteria followed by the equity criteria.
