An implementation mapping approach to equitable program delivery: building readiness in community organizations.
Article in Implementation science communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCommunity-based, not-for-profit organizations have potential to advance health equity through delivery of health-promoting interventions to underserved populations. However, structural barriers (e.g., limited resources) and contextual nuances often inhibit organizations' ability to adopt, implement, and sustain evidence-based interventions (EBIs). Implementation support systems ('support systems') can address these challenges by providing tailored support to enhance organizational readiness - an essential precursor for high-quality equitable implementation. In this paper, we used a case study approach to identify implementation strategies ('strategies') that a support system uses to build readiness in community organizations to adopt, implement, and sustain a health-promoting EBI for diverse groups of older adults (Choose to Move; CTM).
methodsWe used a novel application of implementation mapping to name, define, and operationalize strategies used by the support system. We operationalized each strategy across eight dimensions: actor, action, action target, dose, theoretical justification, mechanism of action, temporality, and implementation outcomes addressed. We aligned strategies to a readiness framework (R=MC
resultsWe identified 17 strategies enacted by the support system to enhance organizational readiness, particularly motivation and innovation-specific capacity, across a five-stage implementation roadmap: 1. engagement, 2. readiness assessment, 3. feedback and prioritization, 4. preparation, and 5. support during delivery. The 17 strategies aimed to improve adoption, reach, fidelity, and sustainment of CTM.
conclusionsOur results highlight the critical role of support systems to achieve equitable implementation of EBIs in community organizations. When support systems use tailored strategies to build readiness, they contribute to equitable access to health-promoting EBIs which in turn can prevent widening health inequities. The equitable implementation roadmap offers a practical guide for others working in community health promotion. Future studies that evaluate the selection and effectiveness of strategies that build readiness to achieve equitable implementation and improve health outcomes in diverse groups are needed.
