A high rate of community (FSW) volunteers serving on intervention planning, implementation and oversight committees is a critical indicator of community mobilization.
A PAR project is one where stakeholders participate in one or more of the following: problem definition, problem assessment, intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation (Hughes 2003; Ho 2002).
A public health model (Table 1) can be applied to guide all programmatic steps from defining the problem through to intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation [ 40]:> During the definition phase, a public health approach surveys community awareness regarding retinoblastoma, attitudes regarding cancer susceptibility and severity, and extent of blindness stigma.
The questions in the guide covered the typical elements of an improvement project: local problem, setting, context, intended improvement, intervention planning, intervention implementation, outcomes, and efforts to sustain outcomes [ 23].
With the community's stamp of approval, yet relative reluctance in getting involved with intervention planning and implementation, CPRAT and the principal decided to proceed with several recommendations.
Meanwhile, the next steps to solve the problems such as identifying resources, making intervention plan, and supervising the implementation of intervention are not emphasized.
Our analysis suggests the importance of addressing these underlying factors in future research on interventions designed to improve care plan implementation.
The rate of implementation of an appropriate intervention plan was 89.6% in 2007, increasing to 95.3% in 2010.
