标题:Setting global research priorities for integrated community case management (iCCM): Results from a CHNRI (Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative) exercise
摘要:Aims To systematically identify global research gaps and resource priorities for integrated community case management (iCCM).Methods An iCCM Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) Advisory Group, in collaboration with the Community Case Management Operational Research Group (CCM ORG) identi- fied experts to participate in a CHNRI research priority setting exer- cise.These experts generated and systematically ranked research questions for iCCM.Research questions were ranked using a "Re- search Priority Score" (RPS) and the "Average Expert Agreement" (AEA) was calculated for every question.Our groups of experts were comprised of both individuals working in Ministries of Health or Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in low– and middle–in- come countries (LMICs) and individuals working in high–income countries (HICs) in academia or NGO headquarters.A Spearman's Rho was calculated to determine the correlation between the two groups' research questions' ranks.
