It important that when researchers are trying to understand illnesses they do this together with people who have experienced them. This can be difficult, because researchers often take overeven if everyone is meant to be working as a team. We are a group of people trying to understand eating disorders and help people who have them get better. In our group there are some people that have experienced an eating disorder, health workers and researchers.We thought it might be helpful if we could start by working out what things were most important to us as a group, and then try to stick by them. We talked a lot together to come up with a list of principles.The six principles we thought were the most important were that research should make a difference to people's lives, see people as individuals, be hopeful, make sure that people have a voice, look at things that aren't traditional therapies, and always work together as equals.There are some issues with what we did; we found it hard to get a good mix of people in our group, and we were lucky in having enough money to pay people to do what we wanted to do, which is not always true. Despite this, we still hope that other teams might look at what we have done, and see if they could build on it, or change it, so it would work for them.
