A scoping review to identify and describe the characteristics of theories, models and frameworks of health research partnerships.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Engaging users of health research, namely knowledge users, as partners in the research process may to lead to evidence that is more relevant to the users. This may optimize the uptake of evidence in healthcare practice, resulting in improved health outcomes or more efficient healthcare systems. However, barriers to involving knowledge users in the research process exist. Theories, models and frameworks may help guide the process of involving knowledge users and address barriers to engaging with knowledge users in research; however, there is little evidence identifying or describing the theories, models and frameworks of health research partnerships.

Objectives

Identify and describe theories, models and frameworks of health research partnerships. Report on concepts
