Join us as we present Café Scientifique: Sharing Best Strategies for Inclusion of Mental Health Patients and Families in Research 

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 1 in 8 people worldwide live with a mental illness, which has only increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is increasing evidence of inequitable access to appropriate mental health services for patients with mental health conditions.

To mitigate systemic inequities related to accessing these services, interdisciplinary collaborations with people with lived mental health experiences are needed. Strategies for meaningful inclusion of patients and families living with mental health problems are needed to promote equitable mental health services and support. 

The purpose of this Café Scientifique is to promote meaningful dialogue with members of the public on best practices for Strategies for Patient-Orientated Research (SPOR). Our objectives for this presentation are:

  • Share evidence-based SPOR related to mental health with patients, general public, and scholars.
  • Identify knowledge gaps in mental health related to SPOR.
  • Identify research priorities in mental health research from diverse knowledge users (patients, clinicians, public).
