expression of interest form<\/a>.<\/p>\nWe have helped consumers get involved in many ways. They have worked on student projects, helped write research grant applications, and joined research teams. Consumers have taken part in Critical Appraisal Topic (CAT) groups, Clinical Research Think-tanks, and various STARS Committees. They have helped design health services (e.g. infection control training), created documents for patients, shared research results, and contributed to the\u00a0STARS Education Series for healthcare workers.<\/p>\n
We are committed to working with consumers to shape our research questions, conduct research together, and share what we learn. When consumers are involved, we can make sure our research answers questions that matter to the people who receive care.
