User controlled research has been developed by service users and their organisations as a new approach to undertaking research and evaluation. The aim of this project was to find out more about the definition, nature, operation, problems and potential of user controlled research. It was carried out both through a literature review and through information provided directly by a wide range of service users and service user researchers in a series of individual interviews and group discussions. This Report provides the first in-depth discussion and analysis of user controlled research.
The full report will be available on the website shortly. (Michael Turner and Peter Beresford Shaping Our Lives and the Centre for Citizen Participation, Brunel University, 2005. ) Report Summary Download button

Consumers in NHS Research commissioned this piece of work to identify the types of information that are important to potential trial participants and to appraise the ways in which that information could be provided. The assessment was to reflect the perspectives of: people who have recently been approached to take part in a trial, those actively looking to volunteer for a trial, consumer representatives, and the researchers who design and conduct such trials.  (Marion Campbell, Vikki Entwistle, Anne Langston, Zoe Skea, Health Services Research Unit, University of Aberdeen)Full document Download button
