“…Our study employed a mixed methods approach that included well-studied consensus gathering techniques 10,11 and interpretive thematic analysis 12,13 (FIGURE). A culturally relevant consensus statement on professionalism was operationally defined as (1) a definition of professionalism with at least 90% consensus among study participants, and (2) a definition of professionalism that incorporates relevant social and cultural factors.…”

“…Moreover, it is well known that the church plays a key role in AfricanAmerican community life (37). Involvement of key stake holders early during the formative research stages has been shown to be critical for effective educational program development, implementation, and adoption within the priority community (38). In addition, we did not assess the influence of the a priori knowledge of the participants of end stage disease, organ donation, and transplantation on their willingness to donate, and as such, it is possible that the prior experiences of participants may have biased our results.…”

Background and objectives African Americans are disproportionately affected by ESRD, but few receive a living donor kidney transplant. Surveys assessing attitudes toward donation have shown that African Americans are less likely to express a willingness to donate their own organs. Studies aimed at understanding factors that may facilitate the willingness of African Americans to become organ donors are needed.Design, setting, participants, & measurements A novel formative research method was used (the nominal group technique) to identify and prioritize strategies for facilitating increases in organ donation among churchattending African Americans. Four nominal group technique panel interviews were convened (three community and one clergy). Each community panel represented a distinct local church; the clergy panel represented five distinct faith-based denominations. Before nominal group technique interviews, participants completed a questionnaire that assessed willingness to become a donor; 28 African-American adults ($19 years old) participated in the study. ResultsIn total, 66.7% of participants identified knowledge-or education-related strategies as most important strategies in facilitating willingness to become an organ donor, a view that was even more pronounced among clergy. Three of four nominal group technique panels rated a knowledge-based strategy as the most important and included strategies, such as information on donor involvement and donation-related risks; 29.6% of participants indicated that they disagreed with deceased donation, and 37% of participants disagreed with living donation. Community participants' reservations about becoming an organ donor were similar for living (38.1%) and deceased (33.4%) donation; in contrast, clergy participants were more likely to express reservations about living donation (33.3% versus 16.7%).Conclusions These data indicate a greater opposition to living donation compared with donation after one's death among African Americans and suggest that improving knowledge about organ donation, particularly with regard to donor involvement and donation-related risks, may facilitate increases in organ donation. Existing educational campaigns may fall short of meeting information needs of African Americans.

Outsourcing is increasingly used by the vaccine manufacturers. When the manufacturing activities are outsourced, the contract manufacturer's Good Manufacturing Practice compliance needs to be confirmed through auditing. In the same way, when distribution is outsourced, the contract distributor's Good Distribution Practice compliance needs to be confirmed through auditing. The objective of this study was to develop an audit preparation tool for the pharmaceutical contract vaccine distributor and to validate its contents by using the Delphi method. Based on this, a tool was developed for the contract vaccine distributors. The Delphi method was used with a group of 14 experts from the pharmaceutical industry, authorities and university. The response rate in the Delphi questionnaire round was 100 %. The tool consisted of 33 quality items, out of which 29 (88%) achieved the pre-defined agreement rate level (>75%). The four quality items which did not achieve the pre-defined agreement rate were excluded from the tool. The expert group suggested only minor changes to the tool. The results show that the content validity of the developed audit preparation tool was good. The resultant questionnaire is ready to use. Developed the ready-to-use questionnaire based on critical factors evaluation, gives an objective picture of the possibilities of the potential partner and help organisations make quality decision on the selection of contract vaccine distributors. The contract vaccine distributor must be permanently controlled and analysed, so as to maintain the required quality and to keep low level of costs.
