Module 11-1: Engage Partners, Build Better Pragmatic Trials (16 mins)

Partner engagement can make pragmatic trials more relevant and feasible. This module defines partner engagement and explains why it should be a bi-directional partnership, not a last-minute consultation. We cover core engagement principles, including respect, fairness, co-learning, transparency, accountability, trust, and inclusivity. The module also explores co-design, showing how working *with* partners can improve research questions, study design, feasibility, data quality, interpretation, dissemination, and implementation. Finally, we review common barriers to partner engagement, including knowing who to engage, building trust and capability, and managing practical constraints such as time, turnover, and competing priorities.
