Public involvement improves research says new report
Public and patient involvement in research can enhance the quality of research and research outcomes, according to a new report published by INVOLVE.
The new INVOLVE report: Exploring Impact: public involvement in NHS, public health and social care research looks at the impact of public involvement through an in-depth review of published literature.
It draws together examples of how public involvement is conducted, and how it makes a difference. It also raises questions about the quality of evidence showing the impact of such involvement, revealing huge variations in how this is assessed and reported, highlighting difficulties in judging it or drawing general conclusions.
The full report (116 pages, PDF 451Kb) is available to download from the publications section of the INVOLVE website:
A 16-page summary (PDF 97Kb) is also available.
