    Abstract The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were (1) to propose a new allergic rhinitis classification, (2) to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma and rhinitis and (3) to develop guidelines with all stakeholders that could be used globally for all countries and populations. ARIA—disseminated and implemented in over 70 countries globally—is now focusing on the implementation of emerging technologies for individualized and predictive medicine. MASK [MACVIA (Contre les Maladies Chroniques pour un Vieillissement Actif)-ARIA Sentinel NetworK] uses mobile technology to develop care pathways for the management of rhinitis and asthma by a multi-disciplinary group and by patients themselves. An app (Android and iOS) is available in 20 countries and 15 languages. It uses a visual analogue scale to assess symptom control and work productivity as well as a clinical decision support system. It is associated with an inter-operable tablet for physicians and other health care professionals. The scaling up strategy uses the recommendations of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. The aim of the novel ARIA approach is to provide an active and healthy life to rhinitis sufferers, whatever their age, sex or socio-economic status, in order to reduce health and social inequalities incurred by the disease.

    Unravelling the factors decisive to the implementation of EPODE-derived community approaches targeting childhood obesity: a longitudinal, multiple case study
    (2016) van der Kleij, Maria Rianne; Crone, Mathilde; Reis, Ria; Paulussen, Theo
    Abstract Background Implementation of intersectoral community approaches often fails due to a translational gap between the approach as intended and the approach as implemented in practice. Knowledge about the implementation determinants of such approaches is needed to facilitate future implementation processes. Methods The implementation of five EPODE-derived intersectoral community approaches was studied longitudinally. Semi-structured interviews were held with 189 community stakeholders from four sectors to elucidate which determinants influenced implementation, and if an to which extent determinants differed across communities, sectors and over time. A framework approach was used to analyze our data. Results Twenty-two key determinants of implementation were identified. Facilitators named were mostly proximal (stakeholder level), and barriers were mostly distal (context level). Key determinants varied greatly across sectors and over time, especially between the educational & health care sector and the private, welfare & sports sector. Only ‘perceived importance of IACO goals’ was identified as an universal implementation facilitator. Conclusions Striking differences in determinants were found across sectors and over time. Also, stakeholders expressed that possibilities to adapt the approach to the local context were needed to improve implementation. We therefore propose to develop sector- and time specific leads for implementation, which should be approved and amended (over time) by stakeholders. This so-called ‘mutual adaptation’ allows for the use of both scientific insights and practice-based knowledge, enabling program management and community stakeholders to collaboratively improve their implementation efforts.
