Abstract:
The authors report on the impact of consumer involvement in the prioritisation of research topics at the National Co-ordinating Centre for Health Technology Assessment.
They report that consumers refereeing research reports have:

- raise issues not previously mentioned
- helped rank recommendations for research
- identified how reports could be made more accessible and informative
- provided constructive criticism, for example questionning outcome measures.
