The Need for Citizen Science in Sexual and Reproductive Health Research Reference

The Research Life Cycle

- With patients, it is important to take their life and values into consideration initially
- Establish the patient as a stakeholder, part of a partnership  


The Basics of Patient and Public Participation in Health Research

- Unclear roles
- Absent reporting guidelines
- Exclusion 
- Framework limitations 
- Resource allocation 
- Administrative boundaries 
- Worry of lack of privacy by aggressive participants 
- Being overwhelmed by the expectations over the involvement of the public 
- Different cultures
- Different values 
- Different power hierarchies


Cons of Public Involvement in Health Research

- Patient and public involvement is important to identify specific research questions 
- Public involvement can help limit the wasting of time and resources on questions and research that is not relevant to the true reality 
- Improves trial design by making sure that the design is acceptable to potential participants, facilitates recruitment for the studies and allows access to underserved and rarely heard population
