Mental health researchers’ Toolkit for involving service users in the research process
This Toolkit offers practical guidance to researchers about different ways of involving people with experience of mental health problems in their studies and trials.
It includes templates of forms, agreements and related documents that can be adapted and customised by researchers.
On this page, you can download the whole Toolkit document (including the templates) in Word, or download each of the templates as a separate Word document.
This is an open source document, which means anyone can customise, adapt and use the templates and do not need to credit the authors or the MHRN.
The Toolkit was produced for the MHRN by the North London Hub Service User Representative Group.
