Prioritisation of Informed Health Choices (IHC) Key Concepts to be included in lower-secondary school resources: a consensus study
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Background
The Informed Health Choices Key Concepts are principles for thinking critically about healthcare claims and deciding what to do. The Key Concepts provide a framework for designing curricula, learning resources, and evaluation tools.
Objectives
To prioritise which of the 49 Key Concepts to include in resources for lower-secondary schools in East Africa.
Methods
Twelve judges used an iterative process to reach a consensus. The judges were curriculum specialists, teachers, and researchers from Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. After familiarising themselves with the concepts, they pilot tested draft criteria for selecting and ordering the concepts. After agreeing on the criteria, nine judges independently assessed all 49 concepts and reached an initial consensus. We sought feedback on the draft consensus from teachers and other stakeholders. After considering the feedback, nine judges independently reassessed the prioritised concepts and reached a consensus. The final set of concepts was determined after user-testing prototypes and pilot-testing the resources.
Results
The first panel prioritised 29 concepts. Based on feedback from teachers, students, curriculum developers, and other members of the research team, two concepts were dropped. A second panel of nine judges prioritised 17 of the 27 concepts. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and school closures, we have only been able to develop one set of resources instead of two, as originally planned. Based on feedback on prototypes of lessons and pilot-testing a set of 10 lessons, we determined that it was possible to introduce nine concepts in 10 single-period (40 minute) lessons. We included eight of the 17 prioritised concepts and one additional concept.
Conclusion
Using an iterative process with explicit criteria, we prioritised nine concepts as a starting point for students to learn to think critically about healthcare claims and choices.
