Consumer Engagement in Chronic Conditions Research: An Integrated Framework Informed by Recognition Theory

This integrated recognition theory-informed framework offers an evidence-based tool to inform the design and implementation of consumer engagement in research about chronic conditions. By positioning recognition for consumers' contribution as an ethical, structural, and symbolic principle, it offers a transferable framework to strengthen participatory practice and advance equity in research. While developed for chronic conditions research, the framework is likely transferable with contextual tailoring to other settings.
