Public deliberations about patient centered outcomes research priorities (2012-2014)

Funded by Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute.

While substantial progress has occurred recognizing community expertise in research, and involving communities in decisions about research aims and methods, community influence on research priorities remains limited. Building on experience with developing, testing and using the award-winning CHAT (Choosing Healthplans All Together) tool, and propelled by a current project that is developing and evaluating a tool to engage minority and underserved communities in setting priorities for clinical and translational research, we plan to develop and test a method to engage the public and patients in deliberations about patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) priorities. The proposed study expands public input on research priorities beyond the limited settings of advisory boards and disease advocates in which much public engagement currently functions and contribute to a more just and equitable system of PCOR. Importantly, by evaluating the tool this project will also add to the body of knowledge about methods, processes and outcomes of community engagement. For more information, visit PCORI.
