Involving users in the delivery and evaluation of mental health
services is feasible. Simpson and House (p 1265) systematically reviewed the literature and found that users, even those with a history
of severe mental illness, could take part in delivering and researching
mental health services, with no negative effects. With the drive
towards evidence based practice, more data relating to users'
involvement are expected. Planners and providers of health care would
benefit from more formal evaluation of users' involvement.
