Patient and public involvement (PPI) in prisons: the involvement of people living in prison in the research process – a systematic scoping review
Abstract Background Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in health and social care research is increasingly prevalent and is promoted in policy as a means of improving the validity of research. This also applies to people living in prison and using social care services. Whilst evidence for the effec...
