Table 1 Summary of planned community-based participatory research activities at each project phase
Phase | Planned CBPR activities and techniques | Anticipated outcomes and outputs |
|---|---|---|
1 | National, provincial, and community-based partnerships and operational structure established1 Core project team, roles, workloads, and communication processes established across each partner2 Training of project team members in CBPR and co-design processes Project team carries out community-based co-design workshops Project team leads multi-site thematic analyses of workshop data, involving community-partners and peer researchers at each stage of analysis Project team leads process evaluation | Within and across stakeholder findings Knowledge translation activities (i.e. reports, scientific publications, presentations) Evaluation of community-based co-design workshop process |
2 | Project team to synthesize main findings of Phase 1 and prototype summary in close collaboration with project partners at key decision points All project partners come together for prototype selection process Capacity assessments with local partners to create prototype-specific operational structure Prototype-specific working groups established and co-develops high-fidelity prototype, its purpose, content, and anticipated outcomes3 | Summary of low-fidelity prototypes Selection and development of 2–3 high-fidelity prototypes |
3 | Prototype specific working groups make local implementation plan Working group locally implement prototype(s) with prototype-naïve population(s) Provincial evaluation team leads prototype-specific process and outcome evaluation | Reports and presentations of process and outcome evaluation findings for each prototype |
4 | National, provincial, and community-partner meeting to discuss key findings from Phase 3 to be prepared for wider dissemination (i.e. policy and academic audiences) National, provincial, and community-partner meeting to discuss opportunities for wider scaling National, provincial, and community-partner meeting to discuss new research questions and | Knowledge summaries, academic publications, presentations of Phase 3 New funding proposals for wider implementation and |
