RT Journal Article T1 Patient and Public Involvement in Sexual and Reproductive Health: Time to Properly Integrate Citizen's Input into Science. A1 M, Garcia-Martin A1 C, Amezcua-Prieto A1 B, H Al Wattar A1 Js, Jorgensen A1 A, Bueno-Cavanillas A1 Ks, Khan K1 health K1 international collaboration K1 patient and public involvement K1 research K1 women AB Evidence-based sexual and reproductive health is a global endeavor without borders. Inter-sectorial collaboration is essential for identifying and addressing gaps in evidence. Health research funders and regulators are promoting patient and public involvement in research, but there is a lack of quality tools for involving patients. Partnerships with patients are necessary to produce and promote robust, relevant and timely research. Without the active participation of women as stakeholders, not just as research subjects, the societal benefits of research cannot be realized. Creating and developing platforms and opportunities for public involvement in sexual and reproductive health research should be a key international objective. Cooperation between healthcare professionals, academic institutions and the community is essential to promote quality research and significant developments in women's health. This cooperation will be improved when involvement of citizens in the research process becomes standard.
