Data collection and analysis.

Measure description	When given	Examination of findings
Facilitator readiness: 19-item, 5-point Likert scale of agreement	Before and after week-long TOF	Paired pre-post means compared using Wilcoxon signed rank test with STATA 14 (n=23)
Facilitator satisfaction: 25-item, 5-point Likert scale of agreement	After facilitators participated in LC1, and after attending all LCs in the TOF	All surveys for each time point (after LC1 and after doing 9 LCs in the TOF) are combined to find means for each item and compared using Wilcoxon signed rank test with STATA 14
Demonstration of facilitation	During the TOF, each facilitation team hosted 1 LC	Trainers participated in the LC facilitated by trainees, and offered feedback about their session: what went well and could be improved
Group Quiz about LC research content with individuals answering T/F questions about the research content of LCs	End of TOF	All responses recorded by team, and correct answers are discussed with rationale. Areas of confusion are clarified in a group setting
Implementation or process tracking in villages
Accuracy in interpreting research evidence presented in LCs	Audio recording of LCs taking place in villages	3-point scale used to assess the degree of accuracy: 1=accurate, aligned with intent, to 3=inaccurate
Fidelity checking: documenting the extent to which local facilitators adhered to Facilitator Guide	Audio recording of LCs taking place in villages	Transcribed and coded by 2 independent reviewers: 1–0 for following the procedures on 6 LC elements, averaged for each session and across all sessions
Facilitator feedback in group discussions	Facilitator meetings midway and after doing PC CARES in their villages	Notes taken during the 2 in-person meetings in April 2016 and January 2017 were analysed for basic themes and shared back with facilitators for their approval
