Learning Together is a framework for evaluating patient and public engagement in research. It is a national tool that can be used to plan and evaluate the engagement process before, during and at the end of a project. It is available in English and French. The Unité de soutien SSA Québec supported the creation of this tool, which was co-developed with all provincial SPOR units and other SPOR entities.
How to use the Learning Together tool
- Guide to planning the patient engagement process
- Users can identify and implement best practices before the project begins, improve them during the course of the project, and report on the transformation to which their work has contributed. Users can also use the evaluation framework to build their own logic model to evaluate patient engagement as part of their research.
