Salim Hani, Ng Wei Leik, Oka Prawira, Ong Ruiheng, Loh Hong Chuan, Ng Chirk Jenn, Wattanapisit Apichai, Seng Jun Jie Benjamin et al.. Research involvement and engagement, 2026-06-27
Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
This multisite initiative demonstrated that structured PPI is feasible in LMICs when supported by cultural adaptation, PPI coordinator roles, and tailored training for contributors and researchers.
Key findings
- This multisite initiative demonstrated that structured PPI is feasible in LMICs when supported by cultural adaptation, PPI coordinator roles, and tailored training for contributors and researchers.
Why it matters
This scoping review reports that structured patient and public involvement is feasible in low- and middle-income countries with cultural adaptation, coordinator roles and tailored training. It concerns research methods and contains no information on treating, curing or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
