What is Consumer and Community Involvement in health research? Consumer and community involvement in health research is about ensuring that consumers and community members have a say in the research conducted and that the research best supports consumer and community needs and interests. Consumers and researchers work together to provide the best value for, and have the greatest impact on, the wider community. Consumers can be involved from the very beginning such as forming questions and co-designing studies with researchers, and throughout all stages of the research process. What does it look like? Consumers can be involved at any stage of the research cycle shown below. The level of involvement will vary depending on the consumer’s role and the type of research study. STAGE 1 - DECIDING WHAT TO RESEARCH Consumers can help identify and prioritise research questions. Examples include:   participating in and sharing ideas at relevant consumer/c
