1. Assessment
|
Conducted focus groups/needs assessment with Community Advisory Board and subcommittees
|
|
2. Decision
|
Decision regarding type of intervention was pre-determined by evidence base; however, decisions regarding major adaptations to the intervention were implemented by the study team based upon Community Advisory Board recommendations (equipment and study structure)
|
|
3. Administration
|
Theater testing was conducted during the Community Advisory Board patient panel focus groups with patient stakeholders iteratively (3 times across 8 months) prior to intervention implementation.
|
|
4. Production
|
A draft of the tailored intervention was iteratively (3 times across 8 months) presented to the Community Advisory Board for further feedback and approval.
|
|
5. Topical experts
|
The study team specifically recruited topical experts for Community Advisory Board membership; see Fig. 1.
|
|
6. Integration
|
Community Advisory Board input was integrated into the final adapted version of the intervention; the telehealth software company revised the software to reflect Community Advisory Board recommendations.
|
|
7. Training
|
Both clinical and recruitment specialists received training with regard to study structure and equipment use.
|
|
8. Testing
|
A pilot test was conducted with 12 patients to identify “hands-on” challenges requiring adaptation; a focus group and structured interviews were subsequently held with these patients to further explore these challenges and solutions
