Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main objective of the study is to generate insights into which forms of patient participation already exist in the oncological research context and what experiences various stakeholders report regarding those. The main aim is to find out which participation formats are suitable for which clinical research context. The results should provide a basis for developing specific guidelines for improving PPI at the NCT.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Another objective of the study is to explore ways of evaluating the quality and impact of participation formats in the clinical research context. In addition to a parallel literature review, this will also be investigated with the help of the qualitative research method used.
