Patey, Sheena McHugh, and Fabiana Lorencatto What Do You Need To Do Before Selecting De- Implementation Strategies? 132 Ten General Principles to Consideras you Develop a de- Implementation Intervention 132 1. There Are No Magic Bullets: Design Your De- Implementation Intervention to Address Specific Barriers and Enablers 132 2. De- Implementation Interventions Are Often Also Implementation Interventions when Substituting One Practice with Another 133 3. Routinised, Habitually Performed Care May Be Operating Semi- Automatically 134 4. Follow the Evidence Wherever Possible when Designing Your De- Implementation Intervention 135 5. Avoid the Tower of Babel: Leverage Existing Listsof Change Strategies and Use Them to Help Match Specific Strategies to Identified Barriers/Enablers 136 6. Avoid Conflating Intervention Content with Its Method of Delivery 139 7. Decide on Tailoring and Adaptation 140 8.

Co- Development, User- Centred Design to Enhance Feasibility, Acceptability, and Implementability 140 9. Prioritise Equity 141 10.
