Course Outline: There is growing recognition that the involvement of consumers and the community in research (CCI) can improve its quality and relevance. This has led to increasing calls for researchers to implement CCI in their trials. CCI ranges from the identification of research topics important to patients to the dissemination of research findings to the community. This introduction to CCI for researchers provides an overview of key points to consider when planning CCI and provides insights into practical application.
