A framework for involving coproduction partners in research about young people with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Involvement of end-users in research can enhance its quality, relevance, credibility and legitimacy; however, the processes through which these changes occur are unclear. Our aim was to explore a coproduction research team's experiences of their involvement in research about young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Methods

Semi-structured interviews conducted with two young people with T1DM, two parents, one diabetes educator, one endocrinologist-scientist and one research-engineer explored experiences of coproduction research and its impact on both the research and the participants. Drawing on grounded theory, we undertook inductive analysis and storyline mapping to develop a theorized framework of mechanisms supporting the process of coproduction in T1
