Tokenism in patient engagement

An important part of pain research is patient partnership, where researchers work with people with lived experience to understand their perspectives. While patient partners are invaluable to research projects, some feel tokenized -- like their voices are included but largely ignored. How can we change this? In this month’s episode of the Pain Waves podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Dawn Richards, a researcher, patient partner, and patient engagement expert. She talks to us about a recent blog post she co-authored on the topic of Tokenism in Patient Engagement and offers advice on how to overcome it. Read the blog post here:
