Abstract:

This article reports the findings from a mixed-methods evaluation of public involvement in the National Health Service Health Technology Assessment programme. The focus was on the nature and influence of patients and public on research topics. Their influence was found to include:

  • making patient and carer perspectives explicit
  • changing the focus of research
  • adding new outcomes
  • refuting the need for planned research
  • providing up-to-date prevalence data
  • providing plain English background text.
