This study aimed to analyse the roles that different primary care providers adopted, and the variations in these, in the implementation of the guidelines in urban Mongolia. Data was analysed usinga thematic approach based on the identified themes relevant to role delineation. There was some variability and flexibility in role delineation. Findings suggest that adequate ongoing
training is required to maximize the range of roles particular provider types, especially primary care nurses, are competent to perform. Ensuring that role delineation is specified in guidelines could remove confusion and enhance implementation of such guidelines.
