Background People with mental illness have a reduced life expectancy compared to the general population. Despite the increasing evidence for the efficacy of lifestyle interventions there is little change in routine clinical care. This discrepancy is often referred to as the implementation gap and has caused a need for effectiveness and implementation research in real-world settings. Our study assesses the effectiveness and implementation of a multidisciplinary lifestyle focused approach in the treatment of inpatients with mental illness (MULTI +). Methods An open cohort stepped wedge cluster randomized trial in inpatients psychiatric wards of GGz Centraal, the Netherlands. The wards are divided into three clusters based on geographical region. These clusters are randomly allocated to one of the three pre-defined steps to integrate MULTI + . MULTI + can be tailored to fit individual psychiatric wards and includes 10 core components aimed at improving lifestyle factors. The primary outcome is to investigate the difference in the mean QRISK3 score of patients receiving MULTI + compared to patients receiving TAU. Secondary outcomes include somatic and mental health outcomes, lifestyle factors, and implementation factors. Findings will be analysed using mixed model analyses. Discussion The MULTI + study is the first large-scale study evaluating the long-term effects of a multidisciplinary, multicomponent approach aimed at improving lifestyle factors in routine inpatient mental health care. A limitation of this study is the risk of missing data due to the large-scale, real-world setting of this study. Furthermore, implementation monitoring and external events that may influence outcomes could be difficult to account for. Strengths of this study are the focus on effectiveness as well as implementation and the inclusion of both patient and health care professionals’ perspectives. Effectiveness studies in routine clinical care can advance our knowledge on lifestyle interventions in real-world settings. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov registration. Identifier:  NCT04922749 . Retrospectively registered 3th of June 2021.
