Supplementary material: An evaluation of stakeholder engagement in comparative effectiveness research: lessons learned from SWOG S1415CD

These are peer-reviewed supplementary materials for the article 'An evaluation of stakeholder engagement in comparative effectiveness research: lessons learned from SWOG S1415CD' published in the Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research.ESAG Interview QuestionsOptional Questions (if time)Aim: Stakeholder engagement is central to comparative effectiveness research yet there are gaps in definitions of success. We used a framework developed by Lavallee et al. defining effective engagement criteria to evaluate stakeholder engagement during a pragmatic cluster-randomized trial. Methods: Semistructured interviews were developed from the framework and completed to learn about members’ experiences. Interviews were analyzed in a deductive approach for themes related to the effective engagement criteria. Results: Thirteen members participated and described: respect for ideas, time to achieve consensus, access to information and continuous feedback as areas of effective engagement. The primary criticism was lack of diversity. Discussion: Feedback was positive, particularly among themes of respect, trust and competence, and led to development of a list of best practices for engagement. The framework was successful for evaluating engagement. Conclusion: Standardized frameworks allow studies to formally evaluate their stakeholder engagement approach and develop best practices for future research.

本数据集为发表在《比较效果研究杂志》上的文章《比较效果研究中利益相关者参与的评估：从SWOG S1415CD项目中汲取的经验教训》的同行评审补充材料。ESAG面试问题可选问题（如有时间）：目标：利益相关者参与是比较效果研究的核心，然而关于成功的定义仍存在不足。本研究采用Lavallee等人开发的框架，界定有效的参与标准，以评估在一个务实集群随机试验期间的利益相关者参与情况。方法：基于该框架制定了半结构化访谈，以了解成员们的经验。访谈采用演绎方法分析，以探究与有效参与标准相关的主题。结果：共有十三位成员参与，并描述了尊重观点、达成共识所需时间、信息获取和持续反馈作为有效参与领域。主要的批评是缺乏多样性。讨论：反馈积极，尤其是在尊重、信任和胜任力等主题方面，并促使形成了一项参与最佳实践清单。该框架在评估参与方面取得了成功。结论：标准化框架允许研究正式评估其利益相关者参与方法，并发展未来研究最佳实践。
