Oncology mental health providers' adaptation of an evidence-based intervention: A mixed-methods study.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAdaptations are intentional modifications maximizing the fit of an evidence-based intervention (EBI) in new context. Little is known about EBI adaptation within psychosocial oncology. Guided by the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced (FRAME), this mixed-methods study describes oncology mental health providers' planned adaptations to a psychosocial oncology EBI and examines the relationship between planned adaptations and longitudinal EBI usage.
methodsProviders (N = 128) were social workers (47%) and psychologists (40%) practicing in community settings (44%) or academic medical centers (41%). They attended a 3-day training on a multicomponent psychosocial oncology EBI, the Biobehavioral Intervention (BBI). During training, providers prepared an "adaptation plan" describing necessary adaptations to BBI and rationales for change. Qualitative data from adaptation plans were analyzed using directed content analysis. Linear mixed models examined the relationship between adaptation characteristics (number, similarity to the manualized BBI) and EBI usage across 12 months post-training.
resultsThree sets of qualitative themes reflecting FRAME elements emerged: (1) content modifications (e.g., shortening/condensing, selecting elements, adding/removing elements); (2) contextual changes (e.g., alternative group formats); and (3) reasons for adaptations (e.g., organization/setting, provider, and recipient factors). Neither number of adaptations nor adaptation similarity were associated with BBI usage across 12 months post-training.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this study is the first to characterize oncology mental health providers' planned adaptations to a psychosocial oncology EBI. Planned adaptations did not increase usage, but importantly they did not decrease usage. The adaptation process enabled providers to make thoughtful adaptation choices, with implementation successful irrespective of setting constraints.
