Summary: The study evaluated implementation fidelity of an Integrated Healthy Lifestyle Service through individual interviews and focus groups, finding mixed levels of fidelity across various domains. Stakeholders, staff, and clients noted high intervention receipt, but practitioners lacked formal training and personal development opportunities, leading to low confidence in delivering sessions and analyzing data. Top-down information dissemination within the service affected motivation and team morale. Results can be used to strengthen the design, delivery, and recruitment strategies of the IHLS.
