Abstract:

The author argues that patient involvement improves the quality of research. She provides three examples of involvement in breast cancer research the UK, USA and Australia. These illustrate the impact of involvement on research quality and design, on funding decisions and the consent process.

She recommends that researchers should be asked to demonstrate that they have consulted consumers in developing their research proposals when applying for funding. She also suggests that medical journals should set new standards for consumer consultation by making involvement at all stages in research a condition for publication.
