A new report, “Research as empowerment?” has been released by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and is available online as a PDF file at http://www.jrf.org.uk/bookshop/eBooks/1859353185.pdf
Below is a description:
There is growing interest in evidence-based policy and practice in health and social care. Alongside this is an increasing interest in extending the involvement of service users in research.
This is a report of a series of seminars, which was organised by the Toronto Group to further explore these issues. The seminars took place at different locations around England and brought together a range of different stakeholders. They covered four topics:
* involving service users in traditional or mainstream research
* involving service users in peer review
* involving people from black and minority ethnic communities in research
* emancipatory research.
