Antipsychotic Treatment of Schizophrenia: Real-World Evidence from National Cohorts
Chair
Laila Asmal
Presenter
Jari Tiihonen
Abstract
Global recognition for the crucial role of meaningful and authentic involvement of people with lived experience in the mental health and social development sectors has gained momentum. People with lived experience are being acknowledged as integral partners in the fields of research, policy reform, service development and delivery, project implementation and monitoring and evaluation. In research, people with lived experience, both academic and non-academic, are able to contribute lived experience expertise throughout all project phases, not merely be seen as subjects of research. In my presentation I will speak about the benefits of including people with lived experience in research, the existing obstacles and the principles and key strategic elements to meaningfully and authentically involve academic/ non-academic lived experience partners.
