Description

Rosiel Elwyn and a team of lived-experience researchers set out partnership principles for eating disorder research in this 2026 article. Working with people who have lived through an eating disorder is now seen as an ethical must in health research, but this field has lagged and lacks guidance.

The authors list eight principles, from treating lived experience as expertise to sharing power, paying people fairly, and keeping working methods emotionally safe. They also explain involvement types, such as research led by lived-experience experts, co-production, co-design, and consultation. Practical advice covers roles, disclosure choices, authorship, and dealing with institutional barriers to real partnership.
