To champion the best possible person centred care, it is essential that we hear from diverse individuals and communities with varying views and experiences, to ensure that data reflects the overall population as best as possible. This presentation will focus on inclusion in quantitative research on person centred care and share best practice and guidance using real examples from our work, including: Embedding the patient voice in research methods (co-development) Engaging patients, service users and wider stakeholders in the development of self-reported care experience surveys. For example, using semi-structured in-depth interviews and stakeholder events to inform survey content, and inviting relevant audiences to review draft questionnaires. Inclusive design Using cognitive interviews to test survey questions before launch to ensure they are accessible to and understood by the relevant audience. Ensuring surveys are accessible to people with differing needs, by offering translations into different languages, versions in braille and easy read, and ensuring online surveys are screen-reader friendly. Utilising different survey modes Catering for preferences, for example offering online and paper survey response modes. Creating survey versions for various audiences, e.g. adapting children’s survey designs to suit different age groups Offering telephone helplines to support participants completing the survey. Utilising promotion methods to maximise survey response Working with community groups to promote engagement with lesser heard populations. Engaging audiences through different mediums i.e. social media, invite letters (postal, SMS, email), infographics, and utilising existing networks to help reach people to invite to take part in surveys. Clear representation of findings Ensure that the dissemination of survey findings on person centred care is accessible to respondents e.g. by using plain English and engaging designs, as well as offering language translations and easy read. This can be tailored according to the population and the available budget.
