Promoting consumer participation in mental health research: A National Workshop
Date: 15 June 2004
The National Workshop was organised by the Depression & Anxiety
Consumer Research Unit of the ANU Centre for Mental Health Research
in consultation with the Mental Health Council of Australia, beyondblue/bluevoices
and the National Health and Medical Research Council. The workshop was
funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, and brought
together 30 delegates with extensive experience in the area of mental
health research and active consumer participation. A diverse range of
mental health research stakeholders shared experiences from consumer,
carer, academic, government, CALD, Aboriginal, funding body, NGO and
pharmaceutical company perspectives.
The productive day-long workshop was facilitated by Dr Norman Swan.
Delegates heard from different stakeholders and then broke into groups
to draft a set of principles to guide active consumer/researcher partnerships
for mental health research. A working group is now finalising the drafts,
to be presented to consumer representative organisations and professional
societies with an interest in mental health research. This is with a
view to flagging them for the attention of the National Health and Medical
Research Council, in order to encourage greater consumer participation
in mental health research.
