Abstract:
Aim: To investigate how far service user involvement in mental health research appears to have been understood, how far it is happening, reasons why service users get involved and barriers to involvement.
Methods: A literature review looking at user involvement in mental health research and how users are carrying out research.
Findings/recommendations: There is little emperical research in this area but a lot more information in the grey literature. However, there is increasing evidence of user involvement in mental health research and at all stages of the research cycle.
