Purpose: Exposure to traumatic events may lead to the development of Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) within the first month post-trauma in some individuals, while others may not exhibit ASD symptoms. ASD was introduced as a potential early indicator to identify those at higher risk of developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), however, PTSD can occur in some individuals even without prior ASD. Assessing ASD post-trauma can assist in identifying those who would most benefit from intervention to prevent later PTSD, yet the predictive power of ASD varies across studies, with intensity of ASD symptoms and subthreshold PTSD often less considered.

Background: Health and social care standards are multi-faceted interventions that promote quality and safe care in health systems. There is a need to apply evidence-based, rigorous and transparent methods when selecting strategies to support the implementation of standards. We aimed to develop an evidence- and theory-informed intervention to guide researchers in identifying appropriate implementation strategies and then selecting tailored support tools and actions for use when implementing a set of standards.
