PPI 2015 Unit III

This custom-made framework for evaluating patient and public involvement aims to get researchers thinking about impact when they plan their research, rather than retrospectively. The authors identify these aspects as influencing impact:

• Approach i.e. the ways in which members of the public are involved in the study
• The values associated with public involvement by members of the research team
• The focus of the research and study design
• A range of practical issues including human and material resources.
