We conducted a needs assessment with six external focus groups, two key informant interviews, and a survey with the expert panel. Our goals were to explore the needs of end users and to gather names of knowledge experts as potential panel members. 67 people working in hospitals, academic institutions, public health institutions, public health agencies, and other health community centres participated.
After concluding the survey, focus groups and interviews, we hosted a full-day in-person discussion, sharing and discussing a summary of key themes that had emerged. See Appendix 1: Methods of the needs assessment of the Leading Change Toolkit™ for more information.
