Report describing toolbox of methodologies and approaches for WPs to engage stakeholders regarding new evidence on the use of medicines in pregnancy and lactation

Task 6.3: Methodologies and tools for stakeholder engagement and consensus building (M1 – M24) (KUL, i~HD, EMA, EFGCP, Takeda, NVS, Lilly, JAN, Teva). This task will assemble a toolbox of resources (methodologies, instruments, tools, guidelines and training materials) to enable positive and successful engagement across stakeholder groups and to support patient engagement & healthcare professional and public health consensus building, for example about communicating the strength of evidence about safety, how it has been derived, the level of confidence provided by the experimental data. This activity will primarily guide the consortium on which well-established methods may be most suitable for each of the various kinds of engagement, attitude sampling and consensus building. In collaboration with WP5, this task will advise internally on the uses of individual expert interviews, focus group discussions, Delphi study methods, online surveys, webinars and training materials. The toolbox will progressively grow tools in a prioritised way from early in the project and be complete by M24.
