Lived experience engagement in mental health, substance use health, and physical health.
Study Purpose
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is conducting an online study to develop and test the novel Measure of Engagement Tool for Research and lived Experience (METRE). The METRE assesses the perceived impacts of people with lived/living expertise and family/caregivers (PLLEX-C) engagement on the research conducted, and it is designed to be completed by researchers or PLLEX-C.

After you express interest, our team member will contact you to set up online meeting to discuss consent and provide more information. People who take part in the study will be answering a brief questionnaire about themselves, completing the measure with the research staff member online while describing their thought process as they complete it, and answering several questions about it. Data will be collected on a secure CAMH server. Completing the participation could take about 45-90 minutes. Basic internet access and an email address will be needed to take part in the study. Participants will receive compensation for their time.
