The second workshop was organised in August 2017 and was facilitated in the same manner (see online supplemental file 2). It was attended by 28 representatives and five research team members, split in two groups. Of those in attendance, five persons in each of the two groups had not attended the first workshop. These included a representative from the Social Service Agency (the State service purchaser under the MoLHSA) and family doctors and managers from primary care facilities (see table 1). During this workshop, participants were asked to analyse the main elements of the proposed new national TB policy—which had been redrafted after the first workshop, focusing on (1) the policy’s causal pathway, (2) the underlying processes of change (ie, mechanisms) and (3) the required context conditions.
