HH provided feedback and interpretation of bone lead measurements and reviewed the manuscript.
The authors would like to express their gratitude to the University of North Texas Health Science Center for their support, as well as to all patients who participated in the interviews and survey and to the clinicians who provided feedback and interpretation of data.
The policy of including community members or organizations as authors of scientific papers acknowledges the value of local expertise and recognizes the merit of contributions that have been made throughout the research process, from identifying research questions of interest to providing feedback and interpretation on papers for publication (Israel et al. 2001; Wallerstein 1999).
The project will adopt a participatory, quality improvement approach that features annual cycles of: 1) organisational system assessment and audits of clinical records; 2) feedback to and interpretation of results with participating health centre staff; 3) action planning and goal setting by health centre staff to achieve system changes; and 4) implementation of strategies for change.
The data presented here are baseline service activity only; more data will be available for subsequent years of the quality improvement intervention, which includes annual cycles of organisational assessment, clinical audits, feedback to and interpretation of data with participating health centre staff, action planning, goal setting and implementing of strategies for change [ 18].
This was another opportunity to feedback researcher analysis and interpretations and to ensure participants had the opportunity to edit or alter these interpretations ensuring the data were an accurate representation of what the participant had discussed throughout the study.
For the IP to provide feedback and real-time interpretation to the SP, a parallel laptop-to-laptop audio conference was established via Skype.
Implementation of global standards in resource poor settings has created feedback and frequently challenges interpretation of those standards.
In the training phase, the test manual was refined on the basis of feedback, and the performance and interpretation of the tests were evaluated in order to remove potential errors.
DB contributed conceptual feedback regarding interpretations, and provided significant support to manuscript revision and editorial needs.
