Authors’ conclusions
There is little evidence from randomised controlled trials of the effects
of consumer involvement in healthcare decisions at the population
level. The trials included in this review demonstrate that randomised
controlled trials are feasible for providing evidence about the
effects of involving consumers in these decisions.
Comment 1:This paper is an issue for public health
policy-makers not clinicians. Consumer involvement has a great risk of
being tokenistic.
Comment 2:As a community health professional, the results
will serve as an evidence to involve health care consumers in the
process of policy and guideline formulation.
Comment 3:
The evidence presented that face-to-face
interactions with consumers is the most effective type of involvement
for developing patient educational materials is helpful for clinicians.
