I agree with you Joyce on that one, it start from the community engagement. we need to get the buy in of the community first and that will illiminate the hear say in the community as it affect the participants retention. 2 the screening visit is very important, that informed consent process determines our retention at the end of the day. if we give participants enough time to go through the informed consent and understand what is the study all about before agreeing to join then they know axactely what they are agreeing into.
