Description
Eugenie Evelynne Johnson and co-authors studied why patients and the public rarely feed into rapid health technology reviews in Britain, in a 2024 paper. Such reviews guide a national body that judges which treatments are worth their cost. The groups that write them have long worked with little public input. The team interviewed ten review researchers and ran four focus groups with twenty-six members of the public.
Both sides named the same blocks: too little knowledge, time, and money to build public input in well. Some researchers doubted input fit the scope of their reports. The public had barely heard of the review process, and jargon put them off. Both sides asked for clear guidance on how to embed public voices, step by step. The authors code the finds with two behavior frameworks and offer them as a fix list for the agency.
