Service user involvement in research can range from the extremes of
being the subject, to being the initiator or investigator, of a
research study. The activity of the professional researcher can
also range from being the person undertaking the research, to being
a partner with, or mentor to, service users. This broad scope of
levels of involvement is reflected in the contributions in this
book, both in the research experiences reported and in the writing
of the chapters themselves. With contributions coming from a range
of service areas including learning disabilities, cancer care,
older people and mental illness, chapters look at important
research issues such as: strategies for working in true partnership
avoiding 'tokenism' involving service users at all stages of the
research process communication and terminology involving service
users of different ages and experience training needs of
professionals and service users problems surrounding 'payment' for
service users other ethical and practical issues. This book is
invaluable reading for researchers in health and social care from
academic, professional and service user backgrounds.
