Guides and Decision Aids

We made this guide to help researchers and consumers work together on qualitative health research projects. There are lots of different ways that consumers can get involved in research. This can change from project to project.

This guide is aimed at:

  • consumers: people with lived or living experience, patients, carers, family and community

  • consumer representatives: someone who can talk about the perspectives and experiences of many consumers

  • researchers: people who carry out qualitative research.
