In my capacity working for a funder, I help coordinate and support our community engagement coordinators on the ground around our clinical trial sites. It is important for us to keep our coordinators informed of any changes or discussions made about the trial so they can inform their communities in a timely fashion so they can dispel rumors or false information around the trial. The creation and dissemination of educational materials on both the disease and research literacy can help coordinators educate and inform their communities. We are open and able to provide support to the coordinators whenever they need. Whether due to timeliness or lack of clarity, I think communication can always be improved.
