This book represents a major contribution to the development and
increasingly accepted importance of involving service users in
research. It argues that this development is neither a fad nor a
cure-all, and highlights the strengths, weaknesses, benefits and
costs of the approach. It is the first text to analyze the
involvement of service users from the conception of a research idea
to the finish of the project. The author critically considers why
service users even bother getting involved, and goes on to explore
ethical issues, covering key topics such as: - the practice of
service-user research; research conception, recruitment, training,
development of research tools, data collection, analysis, writing
up, dissemination and endings - barriers to involvement and the
limitations of service-user research, with practical advice on how
these can be addressed - both sameness and difference in relation
to involving young people in research - alternative futures for
involving service users in research. Using reflexive questions and
practical examples to challenge the reader to consider his/her own
position in relation to these issues, this book should occupy a
central place on the shelves of all undergraduate health and social
welfare students. It is also crucial reading for those studying
postgraduate professional qualifications and research methods, and
for practitioner researchers and policy staff considering the best
ways of undertaking meaningful service user involvement.
