  1. During the 6-month implementation phase, the ATTC strategy’s overarching discrete strategy (centralized technical assistance) encompasses 2 discrete strategies. During the 6-month implementation phase, the ISF strategy’s overarching discrete strategy (use an improvement and implementation advisor) encompasses 5 discrete strategies. For each month, intensity (i.e., time) is reported for the overarching strategy, with “+” being used to indicate the discrete strategies encompassed for that month
