Hi

I have completed my knowldge check on GPP, I could not click the exit button it does not allow me.

What if we engage them through giving them  some responsibilities( May be on CAB).  I imagine this may give a platform for the study staff  to deal with the may be existing myths and misconception. Once they are brought on board,  then it   levels the ground for other  trials in the community

I feel that there is something that is missing in this discussion. It is like each and every person on this platform has a different definition of a stakeholder. It will be great to first of all understand what we mean by this term. reading through these responses makes me feel that some feel that the media are not part of the stakeholders. Then who makes up the group of stakeholders?

 

[Micky Hingorani]

I agree that it important to involve them in developing messages throughout the whole cycle of the trial

I agree that it important to involve the  stakeholders in developing key messages  for the trial  because it gives  them an opportunity to own the study. Thus they will be even more  supportive  during   result dissemination, no matter the outcome.

Hi everyone,

I have a question similar to what Anne posted at the top. How do the rest of the research team (besides the community engagement team) perceive stakeholder engagement? Do they consider it as an important and strategic component of the research plan or they consider it as an extra burden with no real add-on value to the research? If they see it as a burden, how you deal with that?

The second question I want to ask as a person from Thailand is, in your local language, what is the difference between community (or stakeholder) participation in research and community (or stakeholder) engagement? For Thais, we translate engagement as “participation” for lack of a better choice. Participation means different thing to different people; the spectrum is wide. And from what I seen here so far, community participation (thru CAB) is in the middle of the spectrum. The CAB is consulted occasionally. But it is always the researchers who decide what and when to consult the CAB not other way around.

Thanks.

Udom

The role of stakeholders in developing Trial results is first and foremost they have tobe engaged in the whole life cycle of the Trial, understand the Trial objectives and wha is expected  of it (positive or negative results). This process prepares their minds on a good note and be able and with confidence to participate in results disimination.

I agree with Nokulunga.

Those who Do Not suuport probably have misconceptions about the research.  Perhaps involving them in discussions, giving more information, accepting their points of view and trying to reach mutual consensus can help their understanding of study procedures and potential long term benefits to the community.

Thank you Admin 🙂

Stakeholders who do not support the trial are part of the community even though they are against what might be happening in the community, for that reason they need to be involved. Those stakeholders can be involved by using stakeholders who are involved and have much impact in the community and they have ways to approach those stakeholders.

This is very important because myths and misconceptions are usually spread by those people who do not understand, accept or support the trial. Involving them is part of managing issues and the GPP Blueprint for Stakeholders does emphasize that research teams develop an effective plan for engaging with a “full range of stakeholders” throughout the course of a biomedical HIV prevention trials.

The stakeholders who do not support the Trial have all the rights to do so, and do  have reasons or concerns of their own. It is therefore of vital importance to engage them in serious discussions or meetings where their concerns can be addressed.
