Engaging the Public and Patients in Health Research |
Introduction
| 6% |
The purpose of this study is to establish a baseline understanding of researchers’ current knowledge, attitudes and practices related to engaging the public and/or patients in health research, along with desired needs for support. Results will be used to help to inform the development of future strategies to support researchers with the involvement of the public and/or patients in health research. The term “patient” is an overarching term, inclusive of individuals with personal experience of a health issue and informal caregivers, including family and friends (CIHR, 2014). For the purposes of this survey, we will refer to the involvement of the public and/or patients in the research process as “engaging the public and/or patients in health research.”
