Introduction:

Good morning/good afternoon….

My name is… and my colleague sitting next to me is … We will be leading this discussion together. We have several people who will be taking notes…

We work for KEMRI Center for Global Research and PIRE.

I want to thank you for taking the time to meet with us today.

The purpose of this study is to learn how to involve adolescents in HIV research in a respectful way, in particular, what you and your communities think about how to recruit young men and women in HIV testing and disclosure in the context of research.

We will be taking notes as well as audio recording to make sure we do not miss anything. We will use your feedback to make improvements in HIV research with adolescents.

Reports will be prepared to be shared with others and your names will not appear on these reports. You can also refuse to answer any questions that make you feel uneasy.

Before we start, we would like to establish some ground rules.
