Document Summary
There are many ways of involving consumers and community into research! Important consideration of the ladder (of consumer participation in previous lecture) Where informed" is the worst type of involvement. Different levels of involvement will be appropriate in different types of research and in different contexts . Eg. in laboratory based research projects --> it wouldn"t be appropriate for consumers to lead the research. Informing consumers would be in this context. Ladder can help create clarity about the level of consumer and community participation a project requires. Useful in setting expectations with the people involved. By what ethics committees require of them. Research that involves aboriginal communities in australia may have special ethics requirements for involving their communities in all aspects of research processes. Cultural principles and values of the aboriginal people. Changes in funding rules now require evidence of consumer and community engagement to qualify for research support. A means of achieving insight into where public funding goes! (transparency)
