The theory of change for the EQUITy  research
Following findings from this feasibility study, the ToC depicted in Fig. EQUITy Programme: Theory of Change updated following findings from this feasibility study and aimed to be evaluated in a randomised controlled trialNote: White boxes in grey lines indicate elements removed from the intervention prior to the commencement of the feasibility study. Light grey boxes highlight elements that are potentially diluted/uncertain and indicate additional uncertainty/risk. Grey dash lines indicate diluted pathways/linkages. White boxes with a dotted pattern indicate challenges on the implementation of components weakening anticipated linkages. The dotted line represents an additional linkage. Thick black arrows indicate pathways to be assessed by mainly quantitative methods; the rest of the pathways will be mainly assessed by qualitative methods (via a process evaluation)Summary of changes to the EQUITy intervention and implementation strategies following findings from this feasibility study and aimed to be implemented and evaluated in a randomised controlled trial
