This tool was developed by participants in the Family Engagement in Research (FER) course in 2023.

This tool is a table that is written in plain language for potential lived experience advisors, consumers, lay people, health professionals and researchers. It breaks down the steps of the research journey and informs researchers of examples of how Lived Experience Advisors (LEAs) can be involved across each step of the cycle. It further highlights valuable considerations when applying Trauma Informed Principles during the research process as well.

The team also developed an infographic to accompany the table.
