In the valley phase, the implementation and evaluation of research action plans were delineated. The research action plan was constantly modified due to challenges confronted in the vision and valley phases. The research team met bi-weekly; this helped to develop trust among members. Capacity-building activities were held to increase research team knowledge on CPPR approach, AcS intervention, and the community culture and history. Also, weekly meetings between the public higher institution partner and undergraduate students were held to improve fidelity and intervention effectiveness. Each meeting had an agenda and minutes were documented. During meetings each partner had a voice. During this phase, several meetings were held to refine the intervention questionnaire, fidelity checklist, satisfaction questionnaire, and the curriculum. Training for undergraduate level students and the new facilitator were also performed at this phase.
