I like this a lot.  I moved some word around for consideration. My logic is that "to support" implies a hierarchy rather than a partnership.  I'd hope that support or partnership might come out as an action...

As in the original, I would just further simplify the language to remove words that are not essential: "specific", "seek to", "improvement", etc that mostly complicate the language. Remember the audience we will need to work with! I would also not omit the main purpose of the effort (beyond better research), that is, their opinions/preferences/values will be represented in research.

Suggestion:

"An action individuals and/or communities may take to support those who study health and health care, in order to make their voices heard, would be to ..."

Folks,

Here are my few cents worth of thoughts.


*         Prompt Statement tweaked:  "A specific action individuals and/or communities might take to better support those who seek to study health and health care improvement would be to ....."

*         Cleaned up, I think the demographic sorts you have collectively identified work fine.  Remember our software limitation is eight sort variables.

*         For this project, I think the standard rating scales would work fine.  Importance, feasibility, and relevance (to the participants' routine interactions with researchers).

Again, just my thoughts.  I don't want to unduly bias "your" project.

Ken

Subject: Unfinished Concept Mapping Tasks - Top Priority

Enclosed is the agenda from today's CRT meeting with highlighting and notes embedded (also posted to SS, line 62/63).  The notes (in blue boxes) indicate what concept mapping-related decisions we still need to make or what information we need to quickly provide in order to get started.  (Fyi, the real minutes will get posted soon, but I knew we couldn't wait!)

The highlighting on the agenda/notes document in yellow indicate agenda items where there are decisions to be made/info to be provided.  The green highlighting simply alerts you to some new language or suggestions within those items.  On the right hand side are blue box arrows with requests for input, e.g. rating criteria, or information, e.g., names/emails.

I'm asking CRT members to provide their feedback on each of the decision/request for info items by replying to this email (which will reply to all) NO LATER THAN MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. 8.  These items include:

*         Further recommendations about the prompt (please review the Guidance document too, enclosed, and see that more relevant prompt examples have been added)

*         Recommendations on rating criteria to use

*         Recommendations on demographic variables to include

*         Confirmation of 2-5 expert team members/site by name

*         Names/emails of min. 5 PBRN reps and min. 5 academic researchers that will do concept mapping activity (Lyndee, if you don't have academic researchers to do this, not to worry.  Just focus on identifying PBRN steering committee members or other clinicians in LANet.)

If you can't get everything together, get what you can!

Thanks much and have a wonderful weekend,
Barbara
