If < 70% of participants agreed the component was acceptable: (1) If all three groups discussed the component in the meetings…  • If all were either, unsure whether it was feasible or felt it was unfeasible or unacceptable then it was excluded.  • If two groups felt it was feasible and one did not then this component was considered.  • If only one group felt it was feasible then this component was excluded. (2) If only two groups discussed the component…  • If one group felt it was unfeasible or unacceptable and the other did not then group composition was considered.

(3) If only one or no groups discussed the component…  • If < 70% participants agreed it was feasible then this component was excluded. If ≥ 70% agreed it was feasible then this component was included. |
