Description

James Squires and seven co-authors report a 2026 project on a rare inherited liver disease of children, shortened to PFIC. Care for this disease varies a lot because proof is thin, and families had no clear way to weigh in on research aims. The project, IMPACT, spent two years building the skill and tools for patient-centered studies.

Six learning modules taught families and clinicians how such studies work and drew out their research wishes. Attendance ran from sixteen to thirty-one family members per module, with a handful of clinicians. A dozen group talks added depth. The pooled input built a web tool that lays out treatments in plain words, enriched by patient stories. The authors present the project as a base for research that starts from what families value.
