Public involvement is an important element of our work, ensuring the perspectives and needs of the public are acknowledged and considered in research.
SPECTRUM supports three public involvement panels, covering tobacco and nicotine, alcohol and mental health.
Beyond participation in panel meetings, our public members can serve as lay advisers on research applications, provide comments on materials and communications, advise on the development of new studies, and undertake other forms of involvement to ensure the public are represented in any new and ongoing activity.
If you’re interested in consulting any of our panels for your research, please contact the individuals listed in the descriptions below.
