The “Family Engagement in Research: A Conversation Guide” is a collaborative tool meant for use by both researchers and family partners. This guide will walk researchers and partnered families through the necessary steps to designing and carrying out a research project, encouraging shared discussions around project hopes, goals, roles, and expectations. Included in the guide are: a definition of family engagement in research; instructions for using the guide; discussion questions at each stage of a research project; examples to provide suggestions for conducting high-quality, family-engaged research; and spaces to record and reflect on discussions.
