The science of stakeholder engagement in research: classification, implementation, and evaluation

Authors: Melody S. Goodman, PhD, Vetta L. Sanders Thompson, PhD

Published in: Translational Behavioral Medicine | Issue 3/2017

Abstract

In this commentary, we discuss the science of stakeholder engagement in research. We propose a classification system with definitions to determine where projects lie on the stakeholder engagement continuum. We discuss the key elements of implementation and evaluation of stakeholder engagement in research posing key questions to consider when doing this work. We commend and critique the work of Hamilton et al. in their multilevel stakeholder engagement in a VA implementation trial of evidence-based quality improvement in women’s health primary care. We also discuss the need for more work in this area to enhance the science of stakeholder engagement in research.
