用户参与研究被认为是一种有效的社会发展途径。在这篇文章中，我们确定了与老龄化和健康研究相关的潜力、问题和挑战，并以一个不断发展的研究计划为例，确定和说明了研究的优先事项。UserAge项目让用户代表参与开发阶段，聘请了瑞典四所大学的研究人员。该计划建立在用户参与的先前和正在进行的研究的基础上。目标是最大限度地发挥用户参与的影响，增强高质量研究的执行力，增加关于用户参与可以产生什么不同的知识，并评估关于用户参与的研究和有用户参与的研究的影响。UserAge的经验成果、能力建设和建模工作综合在一起，并在国际科学界和广泛的公共场合进行交流，不仅将对目前的情况产生影响，而且将对未来产生影响。
User involvement in research is advocated as an avenue for efficient societal developments. In this article, we identify potentials, problems, and challenges related to research on aging and health, and identify and illustrate research priorities using an evolving research program as an example. Involving user representatives in the development phase, the UserAge program engages researchers at four universities in Sweden. The program builds upon previous and ongoing research with user involvement. The goals are to maximize the impact of user involvement, enhance the execution of high-quality research, increase the knowledge about what difference user involvement can make, and evaluate the impact of research about and with user involvement. Taken together and communicated in the international scientific community as well as in a wide range of public arenas, the empirical results, capacity-building, and modeling efforts of UserAge will have an impact not only on the present situation but also on the future.
