2.4. CRA Scoring System

The scoring system used was adapted from the CRM handbook [33] and is provided as Table S1. Each interview transcript was scored to give a readiness level for the five dimensions, using a nine-point rating scale; 1 (No awareness), 2 (Denial/Resistance), 3 (Vague Awareness), 4 (Preplanning), 5 (Preparation), 6 (Initiation), 7 (Stabilization), 8 (Expansion/Confirmation), and 9 (Community ownership). The interview transcripts were scored by two raters independently following the CRM scoring system (Table S1) [33]. According to the CRM handbook, the main aim of scoring the data by raters is to efficiently apply the scoring system (Table S1) to the data collected. Although, the self-reported respondent data (Table S2) provides interesting insights into community perceptions, for allocating readiness scores to dimensions only consensus scores by raters are relied upon [33].
