Well done to everyone who managed to complete the course, and thank you to the GPP team! The training was very intense but useful.
Formative research is the first activity done to deepen the level of research knowledge, experience and preparedness amongst site team and populations that will be involved in, affected by, or have influence over the trial, which will in turn, help plan community engagement activities accordingly.
This process also assist research team to gain an understanding of attitude, beliefs and socio behavioural factors among the potential trial population that could interfere with recruitment, retention or trial conduct. Once all this information has been gathered, it is then site can be plan well tailored community engagement activities.
When FACTS 001 was preparing for dissemination of results, we held dialogues with stakeholders to discuss the following:
1. Possible scenarios of FACTS 001 results
2. Messaging of study outcome
3. Stakeholders input on developing results dissemination strategy
Even though FACTS results were disappointing , what I am grateful for is that our stakeholders were informed and prepared for any outcome. I believe this process helped us manage expectation well.
