 | We’re excited to announce the launch of the new STARDIT Version One at STARDIT.Wikimedia.org.au
All STARDIT reports (and our other material) from Wikispore have been imported to the new site — and any further editing or updating will take place there. The reports on Wikispore will be preserved as archived versions. The new version of this page can be accessed at: https://STARDIT.Wikimedia.org.au/wiki/STARDIT/Involve_Australia_Prospective_Report_2021-2023 |
Description: Involve Australia will investigate the current public and health consumer involvement landscape in Australian healthcare research and use resources that currently exist to develop guidelines specifically for genomic research. Unlike pre-existing guidelines, Involve Australia will build its guidelines from the health consumer perspective. Ensuring patient and carer needs are built into genomic researchers’ consumer involvement strategies before projects begin provides a standard other fields of healthcare research should also meet. Ultimately, this will improve consumer health outcomes and their journey towards better health.
