Abstract:

This review synthesises the evidence on the conceptualisation, measurement, impact and outcomes of patient and public involvement (PPI) in health and social care research.

It provides emerging, but important evidence of the impact of PPI in relation to three key areas:

  • making research more relevant and appropriate for users
  • improving the quality of the research 
  • developing better relationships between researchers and communities.

Based on this review, the authors have developed a series of recommendations for reporting the impact of PPI.
