N2 - We describe the experiences of research personnel in collecting road safety data, using a range of quantitative and qualitative methods to collect primary and secondary data, in the course of monitoring and evaluating the impact of road safety interventions under the Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Road Safety Program, in Hyderabad, India. We detail environmental, administrative, and operational barriers encountered, and individual, systemic, and technical enablers pertaining to the conduct of road safety research in Hyderabad, India, but bearing relevance to broader public health research and practice and the implementation and evaluation of projects. From our experiences of the challenges and the solutions developed to address them, we set out recommendations for research teams and for administrators in road safety as well as in various other streams of public health research and practice. We propose actionable strategies to enhance data-collectors' safety; build effective partnerships with various stakeholders, including research collaborators, administrators, and communities; and strengthen data quality and streamlining systems, particularly in similar geo-political settings.
