This study comprises a review of public involvement strategies across the five stages of research management in the UK's HTA program at the end of a 10-year period. These five stages are: identification of topics; prioritization of these topics as researchable questions; commissioning of research; monitoring of projects throughout their implementation; and publication and dissemination of findings.
Internal HTA documentation was analyzed alongside narrative analysis of semi-structured interviews of program staff, and a rapid review of published literature.
Public involvement strategies have developed with the growth of the HTA program but were spread unevenly across the five stages of research management. Public involvement was present in identification, strongest in prioritization, present in commissioning but minimal in monitoring and absent in publication and dissemination.
The HTA program has developed public involvement strategies but mainly in prioritization. Further research is required to ascertain where public involvement can be most appropriately used and to evaluate its impact.
本研究回顾了英国 HTA 项目在结束 10 年研究管理的五个阶段中的公众参与策略。这五个阶段分别是：确定主题；将这些主题作为可研究问题进行优先排序；委托研究；在项目实施过程中对项目进行监测；以及发布和传播研究结果。
对 HTA 项目的内部文件进行了分析，同时对项目工作人员的半结构化访谈进行了叙述性分析，并对已发表文献进行了快速审查。
公众参与策略随着 HTA 项目的发展而发展，但在研究管理的五个阶段中分布不均。公众参与存在于确定阶段，在优先级排序阶段最强，在委托阶段存在，但在监测阶段很少，在发布和传播阶段不存在。
HTA 项目已经制定了公众参与策略，但主要是在优先级排序方面。需要进一步研究以确定公众参与可以在何处得到最适当的应用，并评估其影响。
