  • Dr Hugh McLaughlin
  • University of Salford
  • h.mclaughlin_at_salford.ac.uk

Claimed benefits for research
  • Common language

  • User-friendliness of tools
  • Range and quality of data enhanced
  • YP raise issues with other young people they
    would not raise with an adult
  • Self-esteem, confidence and employability
  • Energy
  • Presentation of results

Before the Research Begins
  • Whose idea was it?
  • Recruitment same old suspects?
  • Informing-for-consent
  • Training
  • Safeguarding
  • Morally active researcher
  • Over promising
  • Reward and recognition

5
Issues During the Research
  • Support needs of service users
  • Confidentiality
  • Researcher discomfort
  • Identity- Service user co-researcher or co-
    researcher who is also a service user

6
Knowledge Claims
  • Favours qualitative
  • No research about us without us
  • Standpoint position
  • Service user peers
  • Same or different criteria of validity
  • Experience plus research tools

7
Conclusions
  • Inadequate attention
  • Outcomes not just process
  • Less rhetoric more critical analysis
  • Neither underclaim nor overclaim
  • Keep service user involvement in research honest

8
Final thoughts
  • If we accept that differing types of Knowledge
    and expertise contribute to a full understanding
    , then no one has privilged insider knowledge,
    but everyone has differing knowledge from which
    everybody can learn. Herein lies the nub of the
    issue. Nolan et al. 2007190
