Assessment Grid

When evaluating patient and public partnership tools, we used the following evaluation grid. It can also be used by the research community to determine the relevance of various PPP engagement assessment tools.We provide a five-star rating for each of the following four criteria:

  • Patient/Public Perspective: Does the tool take into account the views of patients and the public (both in its development and use)?
  • Comprehensiveness : Is the tool comprehensive in evaluating the context, process, outcomes and impacts of patient and public engagement?
  • Usability: Is the tool easy to use?
