Designing a complex intervention involves several steps:
1. Needs Assessment: Identifying the health issue and understanding the context. 2. Stakeholder Engagement: Involving all relevant parties, including policy-makers, healthcare providers, and the community. 3. Theory Development: Creating a theoretical framework that explains how the intervention components will interact to achieve the desired outcomes. 4. Pilot Testing: Conducting small-scale tests to refine the intervention components. 5. Implementation: Rolling out the intervention on a larger scale. 6. Evaluation: Assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and scalability of the intervention.
