The STRENGTHS research team understands the needs of the community 100%
Some perspectives are NOT represented on the Design Team (Yes/No) 29%

Partnership Processes
Participation in discussion was equal among all DT members 100%

Intervention Design & Research
I liked how input from the STRENGTHS investigators was used to select solution ideas 64%
I felt that decision-making power was shared equally between the DT and STRENGTHS Research team 71%
Participatory Outcomes
I felt that I was a valuable member of the DT 100%
I felt there were barriers or consequences to participating in the DT 7%
  Barriers included: travel time (distance), work conflicts, time required, difficulty of design work
Participation in the DT taught me skills that I will use in the future 100%
  Skills included: communication skills (listening, respectful discussion, building consensus), HCD methods (brainstorming, empathy, refining ideas, implementation), collaboration (especially with those with different perspectives), eliciting community feedback, how to navigate the health system, how to serve patients
At the end of the design process, I felt that the final STRENGTHS intervention reflected decisions made during Design Team meetings 100%
I trust that the STRENGTHS research team will implement the intervention as specified by the Design Team 71%
Constructive Feedback More voting or rating of discussion topics
  Shorten the process so it can be applied to urgent issues
Start sessions later to allow for participant transport
Break up more difficult sessions over multiple days
Involve more patients and have a component that directly educates them about HTN and referrals
Use less medical language and jargon during sessions
Involve patients and other stakeholders earlier in the design process so they can help draft the research proposal
