Chapter 7178of successfully implementing methods that reduce involuntary care in everyday practice of care professionals (Ranmuthugala, Plumb, et al., 2011). Furthermore, studying the exchange of knowledge, experiences and implementation plans in these Communities of Practice (CoPs) might shed light on the %u2018black box%u2019 of implementation processes in intellectual disability care organisations. The results of five studies are presented in this dissertation. The first study (Chapter 2) was conducted within the context of the changing legislation in the Netherlands from the old Special Admission Act (BOPZ, 1994), to the new Care and Coercion Act (CCA) (Staatsblad, 2018). The objective was to statistically test whether the introduction of the CCA in 2020 and full implementation one year later might have impacted recordings of involuntary care for people with intellectual disabilities and challenging behaviour. The objective of the second study (Chapter 3) was to explore prior experiences and tacit knowledge of care professionals and expertsby-experience (people with mild intellectual disabilities) regarding issues affecting implementation in intellectual disability care organisations, especially related to methods that reduce involuntary care. An additional objective was to reflect on the experiences with collaborating in a Community of Practice aimed for working and thinking together (Pyrko et al., 2017) about implementation. The third study (Chapter 4) had the objective to explore implementation interventions for changing professionals%u2019 behaviour within a first trial of the Multi-Disciplinary Expertise Team (MDET)-method (Schippers, 2019). Furthermore, this study had the objective to gain insight into how these implementation interventions might have initiated the social mechanisms Coherence, Cognitive Participation, Collective Action, and Reflexive Monitoring as described by NPT. The objective of the fourth study (Chapter 5) was to examine the Community of Practice as implementation strategy for designing implementation plans with the ItFits-toolkit (Vis et al., 2023) for the e-tool Needs Assessment Framework (NAF) (Embregts et al., 2019). Finally, the fifth study (Chapter 6) had the objective to evaluate scaling out and implementing the MDET-method in four care organisations. The study examined adaptations to MDET made by the care organisations during implementation and tested the effectiveness in reducing involuntary care of these modified MDET versions.
