Participatory Approaches for Healthcare Research
(PAQ Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to find the best way to involve patients, the public, and healthcare experts in research. It compares two approaches: one where participants provide advice through meetings, and another where they collaborate closely with the research team to shape the study. The trial focuses on pediatric mental health, cancer screening, and serious illness. Individuals with experience in these health issues and who are comfortable using a computer or smartphone for research are ideal candidates. The goal is to determine which approach builds better partnerships and trust, particularly among groups that typically do not participate in research. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to directly influence research methods and improve healthcare outcomes.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on participation in research activities rather than medical treatments.
What prior data suggests that these PPCI approaches are safe for participants?
In a previous study, researchers examined the emotional and physical safety of participants in participatory research. They found these methods generally safe, with no reports of harm or serious negative experiences. Participants felt comfortable and secure during the study.
The Participatory Approaches to Qualitative Research (PAQ) used in this trial do not involve traditional medical treatments. Instead, they focus on collaboration and idea-sharing in research, reducing the risk of physical harm since no medical procedures or drugs are involved.
In summary, safety data shows that these participatory approaches are well-tolerated. Participants have not reported any major safety concerns in past research.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it explores innovative participatory approaches in healthcare research. The Consultative PPCI Model leverages Community Advisory Boards, allowing participants to share leadership with the research team during quarterly meetings, which fosters a strong community connection. On the other hand, the Collaborative PPCI Model emphasizes a close partnership with study staff through idea coproduction sessions, promoting deeper involvement and engagement. These methods stand out because they aim to transform participants from passive subjects into active partners, potentially leading to more relevant and impactful research outcomes.
What evidence suggests that this trial's participatory approaches could be effective for increasing engagement and trust in research?
This trial will compare two main ways to involve participants in research: the Consultative PPCI Model via Community Advisory Boards (CAB) and the Collaborative PPCI Model via the Participatory Approach to Qualitative Research. Although no studies directly compare these methods, the Collaborative approach is thought to foster more engagement and trust. Research has shown that close participant involvement can lead to better results by making research more relevant and patient-focused. The Consultative approach involves participants through advisory boards, while the Collaborative method includes them more deeply in generating ideas and making decisions. This greater involvement is expected to increase participant trust and enhance the quality of research partnerships.678910

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- Participatory Approaches to Qualitative Research (PAQ)
Trial Overview
The study compares two approaches of involving people in research: Consultative PPCI where participants give advice and Collaborative PPCI where they work as partners throughout the study. The impact on engagement, trust, and patient-centeredness will be measured.
How Is the Trial Designed?

Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Community Advisory Board: a consultative model of engagement where participants attend 4 quarterly meetings with shared leadership between participants and research team.
Participatory Approach to Qualitative Research: a collaborative model of engagement with 4 idea coproduction sessions and a close partnership with study staff.
