Dark Models and Bright Ideas: Shaping Research Questions with the Public

This session explores the role of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in shaping research questions. Co-delivered by a Janine Smith (a Public Contributor actively engaged in multiple research projects) and Raya Vinogradov (Senior Research Sonographer/Radiographer, NUTH), the session begins with a case study of the Pre-eclampsia Prevention Resource Acceptability and Feasibility Study, illustrating how research questions can be co-developed and prioritised.

Participants will then engage in an interactive group exercise, where they will:

• Work with a health intervention research idea.
• Build a simple model outlining both intended and unintended effects of the intervention.
• Use this model to generate and prioritise relevant research questions.
