公平的全球卫生伙伴关系对于促进创新研究和加强研究能力以应对重大公共卫生挑战至关重要，但如何最佳地评估这种合作尚不清楚。这是一项连续的多方法研究，利用文献提供的电子调查，然后进行半结构化访谈，以全面评估参与尼泊尔与美国临床医生和研究人员之间的全球研究能力建设合作的经验。对去识别定量调查进行分析，以计算描述性和概括性统计量，沿着各组每个变量的交叉表。根据原产国和卡方统计量定义组，计算卡方统计量以评估组间的统计学显著差异（p<0.05）。访谈进行了分析，使用描述性的定性方法，制定一个整体的专题地图。分析了22份调查回复（回复率为52.4%）; 13份（59.1%）来自尼泊尔，9份（40.9%）来自美国。接受了采访。在项目过程中，所有参与者都报告说，他们在研究方面获得了经验和信心。大多数参与者“强烈同意”对目标、优先事项和战略有共同的理解（尼泊尔，58.3%，n = 7;美国，88.9%，n = 8;），权力平均分配（尼泊尔，58.3%，n = 7;美国，55.6%，n = 5）。访谈中出现的过度主题是“建立社区”的重要性，与会者在COVID-19的更广泛背景下进行了讨论。总体而言，团队成员报告了强大的双向效益，并更加强调感知的效益与挑战。我们的调查工具和访谈指南，旨在全面评估全球伙伴关系在社会生态模型的各个层面的影响，特别关注权力动态和公平，可以适应和使用其他从事类似的研究能力合作。
Equitable global health partnerships are essential to promote innovative research and strengthen research capacity to address critical public health challenges, but how to optimally evaluate such collaborations is unclear. This was a sequential, multi-method study that utilized an electronic survey informed by the literature followed by semi-structured interviews to comprehensively evaluate the experience of participating in a global research-capacity building collaboration between Nepal and U.S. clinicians and investigators. De-identified quantitative survey were analyzed to calculate descriptive and summary statistics, along with crosstabs of each variable by group. Groups were defined based on country-of-origin and Chi Square statistics calculated to assess for statistically significant differences (p<0.05) between groups. Interviews were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach to develop an overall thematic map. 22 survey responses (52.4% response rate) were analyzed; 13 (59.1%) from Nepal, 9 (40.9%) from the U.S. Eight participants (4 Nepal; 4 U.S.) were interviewed. Over the course of the project, all participants reported gaining experience and confidence with research. The majority of participants “strongly agreed” there was a shared understanding of goals, priorities and strategies (Nepal, 58.3%, n = 7; U.S., 88.9%, n = 8;) and that power was shared equally (Nepal, 58.3%, n = 7; U.S., 55.6%, n = 5). The over-arching theme that emerged from the interviews was the importance of ‘establishing community’ which participants discussed within the broader context of COVID-19. Overall, team members reported strong bi-directional benefit and a greater emphasis on perceived benefits versus challenges. Our survey tool and interview guide, designed to holistically evaluate the impact of a global partnership across various levels of the Social Ecological Model, with particular attention to power dynamics and equity, can be adapted and used by others engaged in similar research capacity collaborations.
