However, that may be because participants were asked about the follow-up soon after the dialogue had taken place (during step 7), at which time the core teams were still processing the results and giving feedback to local actors (dialogue summary circulation).
Videos were reviewed for fidelity of the simulated consultations and feedback given to actors to ensure consistency among them.
The 3-hour program consisted of three segments: 1) didactic presentation, 2) video-clips of clinical encounters followed by full-group discussion, and 3) small group exercises, including role-plays of scripted clinical cases with feedback to the clinician "actor" (the intervention participant) and group discussion.
Overall, this report highlights the importance of an accurate field investigation, especially when an epidemic strikes a previously unscathed area or evolves with unusual speed, to ensure an adequate targeting of the response by providing a feedback to the main field actors.
The adolescents participate both as actors playing the patient, and as coaches, providing feedback to the medical students on how well the communication is progressing in the simulation.
Standardized patients (actors) are used to portray realistic clinical situations, offer critique and feedback to each clinician, and assure that clinicians achieved the requisite skills.
After each consultation, the actor evaluated the GP's performance on 10 items, gave feedback to the GP, and communicated a summed "global score" (out of 10) via text message to the research team.
In their first letter, actors and maintainers (<60 min) received compliments for having a sufficient PA level and feedback to raise their awareness of their PA and their intention to become more physically active.
In their first letters, actors and maintainers (≥ 60 min) received compliments for having a sufficient PA level and feedback to raise their awareness of their PA level and their PA intentions.
