Recommendations for Future Use of the Adapted Nominal Group Technique

1. Recruit diverse participants from research network.
2. Repeat the research objectives and potential implications throughout the study.
3. Use effective communication tools (ie, remote technologies and visual representations) as much as possible.
4. Add an individual pre-elicitation activity before group discussions and explicitly state the objective of the activity.
5. Adapt discussions to the needs and preferences of stakeholder group.
6. Hold 1 or 2 rounds of group discussions depending on if consensus reached and time constraints.
