Guiding Principles for Consumer and Community Involvement in Health Research

This resource outlines the four principles that guide the way we work to promote and support partnerships between researchers, clinicians, consumers and community members.

Key Takeaways

  • Understand the foundational values of respect, equality, inclusion, and evidence in consumer involvement
  • Learn how to build genuine partnerships with consumers and community members in research
  • Use the principles to strengthen research quality, relevance, and impact

Who is this for?

For consumers and community members looking to engage in health research, and researchers and clinicians seeking to actively involve consumers in the planning and conduct of health research.

These Guiding Principles were co-developed by SHP and Health Consumers NSW and consumer and researcher members of a Steering Committee.
