18. Conclusions
Most patients and clinicians agreed that
engagement can improve the value of health
research.
Many patients and clinicians reported interest in
engaging in research themselves.
Strategies to facilitate both patient and clinician
engagement:
Establish link between engagement and patient care.
Provide financial compensation.
Minimize time burden.

19. Implications
Find ways to help those who are interested in
engaging in research to be involved in meaningful
ways.
Develop evidence on the value of engagement in
research, particularly for improving patient
outcomes.
Address barriers to engaging patients and primary
care clinicians in research.
