Draft Framework for CCI in Health Research

Draft Framework for CCI in Health Research

Coming soon! A new Framework for Consumer & Community Involvement in Health Research will be launched in spring by the HTQ-led Consumer and Community Involvement (CCI) in Research Alliance.

The Framework is a guide for health researchers on how and when to involve consumers and the community in their health research, creating a simple, streamlined minimum standard for health services and research organisations.

The Framework includes:

• principles for involving consumers, community and clinicians in research

• stages of involvement across the research journey

• CCI methods for different stages of research and level of involvement.

The development of the Framework began at a CCI in Research Alliance workshop, which brought together more than 20 consumers, CCI leads and researchers from across the HTQ partnership. The workshop was facilitated by Amanda Newbery, Managing Director of Articulous, and expert in community and stakeholder engagement standards and approaches developed by the International Association for Public Participation Australasia (IAP2).

The CCI in Research Alliance has subsequently sought wider feedback on the draft Framework from the health research community in Queensland via a short survey. The CCI in Research Alliance was pleased how many interested parties have submitted their feedback and is now finalising the Framework.

Thank you again to those who submitted feedback. Your contribution will help shape the framework, making it a useful tool for wide adoption across health services and research organisations.
