Deciding to partner in research can be challenging for both lived experience experts and researchers. Taking time to consider some key factors can help individuals make an informed decision about whether partnering in a project is right for them. The Decision Guide For Partnership Research is a collaborative tool meant to be used by researchers and lived experience experts. The decision guide offers key information about important factors to consider when thinking about partnering in research and a series of sliding scale prompts for reflection. Each potential partner begins by considering the Researcher or Lived Experience Expert version individually. Next, the potential partners discuss their respective decision guides in a conversation and make a final decision about whether partnering in the research project is a good fit. This tool is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
