Concept mapping for programme design.
Context | Facilitators | Content and format | Outcomes and evaluations |
---|---|---|---|
Perform a needs assessment | Training facilitators in delivery and moderation of sensitive topics | Consider inclusion of community member in content development | Define desirable outcomes as short-term and long-term; aim for patient-centred outcomes |
Identify target audience and characteristics | Training in pre- and debrief | Provide pre-learning material to include background, theory, rationale | Evaluations should move beyond feasibility and participant satisfaction |
Obtain buy-in from stakeholders | Consider engaging expert facilitators | Debriefing allows self-reflection and managing difficult moments | Participants surveys can explore immediate satisfaction and engagement, and perceived learning |
Recognise situational challenges to implementation and adjust accordingly | Provide feedback to facilitators frequently based on observations or participants' comments | Provide skills training and actionable tools | Patient surveys when feasible can identify changes in behaviours and improved outcomes |
