Table 2

Example questions from semistructured interviews and focus group guide.

Can you tell me about yourself and any role you may have had in SRHR promotion/experience of SRHR programs in the community?

Can you tell me what “community engagement” means to you if we are talking about SRHR programs in the community?

Can you tell me about the kinds of things that have influenced your engagement with SRHR promotion?

Prompts:

(i) Positive influences which initiated or enhanced

(ii) Negative influences which decreased or inhibited engagement

Clarify and follow-up:

(i) Is that your own view/experience, or are you talking about what you see/hear from others in the community?

(ii) (For focus groups): Is that similar to/different from others in the group? Can you/others tell me about your views/experiences too?

(iii) You have talked about x (situation/example). Was that in relation to this community or another community? (if other settings/communities, follow-up, and draw out experiences of different contexts).
