DISCOVER PHASE
Goals Completed  To begin, please check off all goals completed for your project during the Discover phase. The purpose of the Discover phase is to gather information about (a) the context of implementation and (b) the clinical intervention and/or implementation strategy, to identify needs and priorities for redesign in later phases.    By “direct users” (also known as “primary users”), we are referring to people who directly interact with the intervention or strategy. By “indirect users” (also known as “secondary users”), we are referring to people affected by the intervention or strategy. For example, if a clinician uses a system in their interactions with a patient, the clinician would be the direct user and the patient would be the indirect user.
☐	Understand needs and perspectives of direct users
☐	Understand needs and perspectives of indirect users
☐	Understand the context of the clinical intervention and/or implementation strategy
☐	Understand the appropriateness of the original clinical intervention and/or implementation strategy
☐	Understand the usability of the original clinical intervention and/or implementation strategy
☐	Understand user engagement with the original clinical intervention and/or implementation strategy
☐	Understand the original clinical intervention and/or implementation strategy from an equity lens (including how/why/for whom it works and potential sources of disparities)
☐	Other goals [describe]:

Design Activities that Contributed to Goals  

Think about the full range of design activities that your team used to complete the Discover Phase. For each discrete design activity, please specify all details requested below. These details will help us understand the activities involved in completing the Discover phase.  

By “design activity,” we mean activities focused on understanding and maximizing the usability of the clinical intervention and/or implementation strategy of interest. (Hover your cursor HERE for resources that may be helpful in identifying activities.)  

By “discrete,” we mean you can clearly describe how many times the activity occurred, who was involved, and what resources and costs were involved. Discrete design activities may have multiple steps or components involved, if you can still provide the requested details for the entire activity; you can present activities in whatever way makes the most sense for your project.   

Once you have specified one activity, you can choose to specify another activity; after all design activities are specified, you can continue to the next page.

Thank you for completing the DDBT Fidelity and Cost Measure!  

NOTE: This is the final page to complete before submitting your responses. The survey will remain active / in progress until you click “Click Here to Submit the Survey” below.  

We appreciate your taking the time to provide this information. It will be very useful for understanding how the DDBT framework is being used in your project.  

As a reminder, a member of the Methods Core team will arrange a follow-up meeting with you to review and clarify your responses. These are typically scheduled 1-2 weeks in advance. If you wish, you can provide details below to assist in scheduling that meeting; however, you can feel free to leave these questions blank and we will follow up with you directly.  

Who from your team should participate in the follow-up meeting?  Please limit to 3 people max, and please provide both names and email addresses.
Name	Email Address
Are there any times that work well for these team members to meet in the next 1-2 weeks?  If yes, please note dates and times, being as specific as you can.
Is there anyone else we should work with for scheduling the meeting?  If yes, please provide name(s) and email address(es).

If you prefer to follow up directly about this survey for any reason, please contact Alex Dopp (adopp@rand.org), and he will be happy to assist.
