131 Implementation and experiences of the Solid Start program Experiences with the implementation of the Solid Start program and crosssectoral collaboration A total of 6 FGDs and 19 interviews were conducted, as detailed in Table 3. The findings were outlined in the six dimensions of the RMIC and summarized in Table 4. Table 4 presents an overview of both positive experiences and developments in the implementation of Solid Start and cross-sectoral collaboration, as well as the challenges that remain and the needs for improvement. In the next sections, we explain the key results, provide examples and highlight the interconnections between different levels of the RMIC. The order of the dimensions was determined by the stakeholder’s narratives. As normative integration seemed to be a fundamental step towards more integration in relation to Solid Start, this dimension was positioned at the top of the table and discussed first. Table 3.
