Abstract
Understanding the health culture of tribal community is important as health problems among tribal communities and their care is influenced by sociocultural factors, which will help in the implementation of health services. The conventional way of improving the access for the general populations may not suit the tribal populations owing to their distinct culture and owing to health systems factors as well. A stepwise process was followed for the development of a protocol to study to strengthen the implementation of National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases. The study was planned to be carried out across six tribal districts of India. A detailed protocol was built around Implementation Research Logic Model, primarily as a method for planning, executing, reporting, and synthesizing the implementation.
