[Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK @CRUKresearch]

Kate Brain shares insights from behavioural research about the value of including the patient & public voice in trial design and delivery, showing 3 examples of co-designed approaches:
👉cancer symptom help-seeking
👉lung screening & smoking cessation
👉prostate cancer risk awareness

and the recommendations for including diverse voices:
👉diversify research methods
👉decentralise trials and studies
👉address pre-conceptions
