Research Question(s):
- Can we develop a concise way to measure the extent to which researchers engaging older adults in research projects are doing so effectively and can we assign a score that represents a value for the quality of engagement?
- Having done this, can we then apply this new measure to score projects that are engaging older adults in research and see whether higher quality engagement scores are related to better short and medium term PCOR project outcomes?
