Creation of a Psychotic Disorders Research Advisory Board as a Shared Resource.

ABSTRACT

Community engagement is important for research, yet many researchers do not routinely seek feedback from people with lived experience. A key barrier to this engagement is that the resources required to create an advisory board may be unavailable to individual investigators, and creating an advisory board for a single study may often be impractical. In this column, the authors describe how to create a standing research advisory board that can serve as a shared resource for researchers and community members and provide a psychosis research advisory board example to aid discussion.
