Patient-Engaged Validation of the PEIR Survey Enhanced by Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Acceptance and Safety (PEIR-IDEAS)

Dr. Sara Santarossa, PhD, from Henry Ford Health’s Department of Public Health Sciences, received the first Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) research award at Henry Ford Health through PCORI’s inaugural Science of Engagement funding cycle.

This project focused on enhancing and re-validating the Patient Engagement in Research Scale (PEIRS) (Hamilton et al., 2018), a scale that measures meaningful patient engagement in research. Patients from the Henry Ford Health Patient Engaged Research Center (PERC) partnered directly with researchers throughout the process to test, refine, and strengthen the scale, ensuring it reflects their lived experiences as research partners.

Researchers interested in learning more about the Patient Engagement in Research enhanced by Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Acceptance, and Safety (PEIR-IDEAS) Scale, and how it can be used in their work can visit PERC’s website.
