Document Summary

Increasing emphasis in policy & research on participation & user involvement: research carried out with or by users of health care in contract to research conducted on. Involving users in shaping research priorities do researchers really know what these are: designing appropriate research methods with users, services users and carers may help to recruit, design & conduct a study. What is research impact: what differences does this research make, measurable difference to society, economy, health care, how does the research benefit individuals, communities, organisations, statistical vs. clinical significance. Qualitative research: linked to the data gathered: trustworthiness: are the findings credible, applicable beyond the sample studied, clearly, rigour: the quality of research appropriate method, sample, analysis & conclusions. Member checking (coding data, reporting back to participants); Audit trail (e. g. , memos and field notes documenting research process); Providing evidence (e. g. , detailed thick" descriptions, direct quotes, audio recording, transcribing); Triangulation (attacking the problem from different angles, using multiple methods);
