Delphi survey
Follow this link to access the survey. The deadline for completion is 9 June 2025.
Why this matters
Randomised trials help us understand which treatments work and which don’t. But too often, the results aren’t shared clearly—or at all—with the very people who could benefit most: patients and the public. We believe everyone should have access to information that can help them make informed decisions about their health. Following our initial study in 2024, we are asking for people to be involved in the next stage of the research.
What’s this about?
We’re creating a reporting guideline to help researchers share trial results in clear, simple, and meaningful ways. To do this, we need your input! This online survey will ask for your thoughts on what kinds of information should be shared.
You will be asked to rate each item (a piece of information) on a scale from 1 to 5, based on how important and meaningful you think it is to share with patients and the public when sharing the results of randomised trials.
Who can take part?
We’re looking for people with different perspectives and experiences, including:
-
Patients, carers, and members of the public
-
Researchers involved in clinical trials
-
People who review or approve trials (e.g., ethics or regulatory reviewers)
-
Funders and commissioners of research
-
People who use trial findings (e.g., journal editors, peer reviewers, guideline developers)
If that sounds like you—or someone you know—we’d love to hear from you!
Participants should be over 18 years old. The aim is to be as inclusive and diverse as possible. Preference will be given to participants who are from ethnic minority communities or any other minority groups as I want to reflect the viewpoints of the under-represented and ensure their voices are heard.
What to expect
There will be 2-3 rounds of survey. The survey is quick (just 15–20 minutes per round), and your views will directly shape how trial results are shared in the future. You’ll also find a Participant Information Sheet here for full details.
