184 Summary 1. The adoption was facilitated by a unifying narrative and dedicated champions at all levels 2. National governmental stewardship with strong local focus is a promising combination 3. Considering both risk and protective factors is important for a comprehensive perspective 4. Monitoring requires longitudinal cross-sectoral data and indicators 5. Fostering normative integration is a fundamental first step to collaborate 6. Processes of learning are indispensable in cross-sectoral collaboration This thesis’ monitoring efforts showed a growing link between research, policy and practice. Future research should prioritize participatory methods, realist approaches and engaging experts-by-experience. We also recommend optimizing the use of routinely collected data and studying early effects of the action program Solid Start. For future practice and policy, we advise to create a long-term perspective, integrate the action program Solid Start into everyday practice and stimulate learning processes at different levels. Despite opportunities for improvement, this thesis implies a solid start for the Dutch first thousand days-approach.
