In South Africa (SA), which is moving towards UHC, public participation in decision-making is entrenched in policy documents yet practical applications are lacking. Engagement methods that are deliberative could be useful in ensuring the public participates in the priority setting process that is evidence-based, ethical, legitimate, sustainable and inclusive. Methods modified for the country context may be more relevant and effective. To prepare for such a deliberative process in SA, we aimed to modify a specific deliberative engagement tool - the CHAT (Choosing All Together) tool for use in a rural setting. Methods: Desktop review of published literature and policy documents, as well as 3 focus groups and modified Delphi method were conducted to identify health topics/issues and related interventions appropriate for a rural setting in SA. Our approach involved a high degree of community and policy-maker/expert participation. Qualitative data were analysed thematically. Cost information was drawn from various national sources and an existing actuarial model used in previous CHAT exercises was employed to create the board. Results: Based on the outcomes, 7 health topics/issues and related interventions specific for a rural context were identified and costed for inclusion. These include maternal, new-born and reproductive health; child health; woman and child abuse; HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB); lifestyle diseases; access; and malaria. There were variations in priorities between the 3 stakeholder groups, with community-based groups emphasizing issues of access. Violence against women and children and malaria were considered important in the rural context. Conclusion: The CHAT SA board reflects health topics/issues specific for a rural setting in SA and demonstrates some of the context-specific coverage decisions that will need to be made. Methodologies that include participatory principles are useful for the modification of engagement tools like CHAT and can be applied in different country contexts in order to ensure these tools are relevant and acceptable. This could in turn impact the success of the implementation, ultimately ensuring more effective priority setting approaches.Item Children Are Like Vuvuzelas Always Ready to Blow Exploring How to Engage Young Children in Violence Research(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC) Nataly Woollett; Nicola Christofides; A Franchino-Olseng; Mpho Silima; A Fouche; Franziska MenckItem Deliberative engagement methods on health care prioritysetting in a rural South African communityAviva Tugendhaft; Karen Hofman; Marion Danis; Kathleen Kahn; Agnes Erzse; Rhian Twine; Marthe Gold; Nicola ChristofidesItem Evidence for high sugar content of baby foods in South AfricaNicola Marais; Nicola Christofides; Agnes Erzse; Karen HofmanItem Experiences of workplace bullying among academics in a health sciences faculty at a South African universityDaphney Conco; Laurel Baldwin-Ragaven; Nicola Christofides; Elena Libhaber; Laetitia Rispel; Janine White; Beverley KramerItem “I’ve accepted it because at the end of the day there is nothing, I can do about it”: A qualitative study exploring the experiences of women living with the HIV, intimate partner violence and mental health syndemic in Mpumalanga, South AfricaMpho Silima; Nicola Christofides; H Franchino-Olseng; Nataly Woollett; Franziska MenckItem Identifying pregnant and postpartum women's priorities for enhancing nutrition support through social needs programmes in a resource-constrained urban community in South Africa(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD) Agnes Erzse; Christopher Desmond; Karen Hofman; Mary Barker; Nicola ChristofidesItem Male perspectives on intimate partner violence A qualitative analysis from South Africa(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE) K Pelowich; T Akibu; J Pellowski; Abigail Hatcher; D Redembo; Nicola Christofides; K HampandaItem Moving towards social inclusion Engaging rural voices in priority setting for health(WILEY-BLACKWELL) Aviva Tugendhaft; Nicola Christofides; N Stacey; Kathleen Kahn; Agnes Erzse; M Danis; M Gold; Karen HofmanItem Moving towards social inclusion Engaging rural voices in priority setting for healthAviva Tugendhaft; Nicola Christofides; N Stacey; Kathleen Kahn; Agnes Erzse; M Danis; M Gold; Karen HofmanItem Pathways to transactional sex among periurban South African women the role of relationship control food insecurity and alcohol misuse(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD) Sarah Magni; Abigail Hatcher; A Gibbs; J Wamoyi; K Dunkle; Nicola ChristofidesItem Perceptions of the attributes of new longacting HIV preexposure prophylaxis formulations compared with a daily oral dose among South African young women a qualitative study(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD) Patience Shamu; Saiqa Mullick; Nicola ChristofidesItem Prevalence and factors associated with PTSD among female urban slum dwellers in Ibadan Nigeria a crosssectional studyOlutoyin Sekoni; Sumaya Mall; Nicola ChristofidesItem Qualitative exploration of the constraints on mothers and pregnant womens ability to turn available services into nutrition benefits in a lowresource urban setting South Africa(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP) Agnes Erzse; Christopher Desmond; Karen Hofman; M Barker; Nicola ChristofidesItem The relationship between food insecurity purchasing patterns and perceptions of the food environment in urban slums in Ibadan NigeriaTemitope Ilori; Nicola Christofides; Laurel Baldwin-RagavenItem Relationship power and HIV serostatus an analysis of their relationship among lowincome urban Zimbabwean postpartum womenTeurai Rwafa; Simukai Shamu; Nicola Christofides
