目的-本文的目的是反映共同生产的心理健康研究的过程中，工作是大学学者，慈善机构为基础的研究人员和生活经验Advisory Panel.Design/methodology/approach之间共享-作者表达了一个研究小组的意见，由人使用心理健康服务的经验，作为护理人员，并从一系列健康和社会科学学科的学术训练的研究人员。有些人在几个领域都有经验。该文件是共同制作的，以提供集体反思和建议。结果-共同生产的研究没有很好地记录在已发表的文献。作者认为，有发展合作生产方法的空间，但需要进一步的概念和理论工作以及实证研究。一个社会地位复杂的研究项目，可能涉及多个利益攸关方群体，需要灵活的方法。与用户控制和其他解放方法类似，共同制作使研究民主化成为一个主要目标，以制作更好的质量和更相关的研究。合作生产也解决了权力和控制研究项目内的不平等，这种工作方式确实提供了一个健康的挑战，传统的研究hierarchy.Practical影响-经验教训，应诚实地分享开发合作生产的研究方法。项目需要有一个战略，如何评价不同的贡献，并在出现不和谐时促进建设性的关系。建立明确的项目角色，期望和付款过程是必不可少的发展真正的合作伙伴关系。独创性/价值-这是一个观点文件。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the process of co-producing mental health research where work was shared between university academics, charity-based researchers and a Lived Experience Advisory Panel.Design/methodology/approach - The authors express the opinions of a research team made up of people with experience of using mental health services, being carers and being academically trained researchers from a range of health and social science disciplines. Some had experience in several areas. The paper is co-produced to provide collective reflection and recommendations.Findings - Co-production of research is not well documented in published literature. The authors believe there is scope to develop co-production approaches, but further conceptual and theoretical work is needed alongside empirical studies. A socially situated complex research project, possibly involving multi-stakeholder groups, demands flexibility in approach. Similarly to user-controlled and other emancipatory methodologies, co-production makes the democratisation of research a primary objective in order to produce better quality and more relevant studies. Co-production also addresses inequalities in power and control within research projects; this way of working does provide a healthy challenge to traditional research hierarchies.Practical implications - Lessons learned should be honestly shared to develop co-production research methods. Projects need to have a strategy for how to value different contributions and facilitate constructive relationships if discord emerges. Establishing clear project roles, expectations and process for payment are essential in developing genuine collaborative partnerships.Originality/value - It is a viewpoint paper.
