Abstract:

This report summarises the findings from a review of the literature. The analysis looked at where the papers were published, countries of lead authors, types of public involved, health topic areas and stages of research involving the public. The findings show that from 1998 onwards the number of papers reporting on examples of involvement began to outnumber papers reviewing the literature, that is more researchers were carrying out involvement than discussing it. The authors also draw out recommendations for future reporting of involvement in research.
