The study i’m invoved in is the first one of its kind in the area so the study team thought it was crucial to do a formative research before hand. As such we carried out a vast community education program targeting all the stake holders and managed to reach out some NGOs, CBOs, FBOs, community leaders, health personel and potential participants. These stakeholders were involved way back and now it has been a year before the study start up. But to maintain the momentum, we do provide them with quarterly reports on the study update so as to keep them informed. Cab have been helpful in the formulation of study tools and providing information of which stakeholders were critical for such a trial.
