A Consumer-perspective Critical Reflection Tool

The aim of our Consumer-perspective Reflection Appraisal Tool is to provide a resource that allows users to evaluate and assess the quality of research from a consumer perspective. The tool has been designed for use on all research that impacts consumers. While designed for use in this context, the tool may also be adaptable for use in other areas where co-design and/or co-production is relevant. The tool can also be used to evaluate your own projects and in conducting peer review. This tool can be used in addition to other critical reflection tools, or critical appraisal tools. We encourage that the tool be used to evaluate all kinds of research, including quantitative studies (i.e., RCTs) and qualitative research.
