Abstract

Engagement Partners Relevant parties Stakeholders Value proposition
Addressing complex health conditions and improving the health of populations requires input from the communities and individuals who are directly affected. To develop equitable, effective, and sustainable interventions, partnerships with or engagement of a wide range of individuals or groups, or what has previously and commonly been referred to as “stakeholders,” are critical regardless of the level(s) an intervention targets (individual, family, environment, community, health system, or local, state, or national policies) or its stage of development. This chapter examines the different roles that partners or interested parties may have throughout an intervention's lifecycle, the importance of their engagement at each developmental stage, considerations when engaging partners, and key challenges.
