A wide array of stakeholders voiced their concerns yet research teams did not adequately follow these up, helping maintain the relationship between stakeholders and the research team – loosing stakeholders trust and respect.
- How can researchers engage stakeholders to better negotiate comprehensive prevention packages tailored to the needs of diverse subgroups?
Listen to the advocates/ stakeholder groups who voice the needs of the subgroups and engage them actively. Follow up and maintain these relationships throughout the whole of the trail.
