Intervention/Research Design: For the theme of Intervention/Research Design, use the following definitions or the longer Script: list of characteristics as a reference. There are three different categories related to ensuring the intervention or research project matches the culture and context of the community. The category, means that the intervention is acceptable Fits Local Cultural Knowledge/Norms and Practices within community knowledge, norms, beliefs, or practices related to the health problem or program outcomes chosen, and may be more likely to be implemented and sustained over time. The category, Co-Learning/Partnership Synergy means that the research partnership will entail co-learning from the strengths and knowledge of both the academic and community participants. It means the group has the synergy to work together well to get the tasks done. The category, Appropriate Research Design, means that the community has had input to the research and the research is acceptable to the community. Which category or issue have we had to tackle or which would be important to discuss for our partnership at this time? Use the next probes if answers to these questions have not already been discussed. The first two questions are more factual and may be answered more quickly. What’s our current approach to [developing, implementing, sustaining, or disseminating] the intervention? (The specific question needs to be based on what the partnership is doing at this time). How are we incorporating community or cultural knowledge? What’s our approach to creating the research design? How well have we done so far? Where would we like to be [choose one: in one year, five years, or another time span]? What do we think are the best or promising practices to get there? Show slide 5: Intervention/Research Outcomes: For the theme of Outcomes, there are two categories of outcomes to think about: 1) intermediate Script: outcomes, such as systems changes and capacity changes that may influence the ability of the partnership to be successful in the future. Examples might be new policies, programs, or stronger community organizations and collaboratives; it may mean that interventions are more likely to be sustained with community ownership, or there is greater connection to culture as a result of the intervention; and finally 2) health outcomes, actual changes in health or conditions that improve or health disparities. We’d like to start by asking if we think this partnership has the capacity to create system or capacity changes and improve health? The next questions should be asked first for intermediate systems and capacity outcomes; and secondly, for health outcomes.
