Patients as Partners in Research: How to Talk About Compensation With Patient Partners
Dawn P. Richards, Isabel Jordán, Kimberly Strain, Zal Press
Abstract
This editorial builds on the previous editorials in the patient partnership series, and aims to share practical advice related to compensation for patient research partners. In the authors' first publication on patient partner compensation in research and health care, they presented the “why” and “how.” Here, they build on the “how” to help alleviate the awkwardness of that conversation. The compensation conversation, as a regular part of this type of partnership, allows teams to codevelop projects and focus on the output and outcomes of their collaborative work.
