What’s the evidence for? A critical reflection on the evidence base for public involvement in research (invoNET sponsored session)
2012 Conference
Abstract:
This workshop is organised by invoNET (www.invo.org.uk/invonet/) to debate:
- what do we mean by the ‘evidence base’ on nature, extent and impact of public involvement in research?
- who are we trying to influence with this evidence?
- what are the purposes of the evidence base on public involvement in research?
- What could and should the evidence be used for?
- what is lacking in the existing evidence base in order to fulfil the purposes identified? (For example, are we looking for evidence on impact on the research, evidence on what does and does not work, information in relation to particular groups and types of research including social care and health research).
- what are the next steps in building the evidence base?
