Comparing Approaches to Patient, Public, and Clinician Involvement in Research

This study, called PAQ, is comparing two ways that patients, the public, and healthcare professionals can be involved in research: Consultative PPCI and Collaborative PPCI. The goal is to see which approach leads to better engagement and trust in research, especially for groups that haven't always been included. You would work with research teams on one of three topics: children's mental health, cancer screening, or serious illness. Your involvement would cover all stages of the research, from planning to sharing the results. The study aims to enroll 136 adults, aged 18 and older, who can communicate in English and participate using a computer or smartphone. Success will be measured by how engaged participants are after 18 months, using a special scale.

Study design
This is a randomized clinical trial, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of the two involvement approaches. It plans to include 136 participants.
What's involved
You would engage with research teams on one of three real qualitative research interview studies. This involvement would cover all stages of the research, from design through dissemination.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your engagement will be measured at 18 months.
