病人和公众参与（PPI）可以用于方法研究，以及应用研究，在卫生经济学。然而，方法研究的目标可能看起来相当抽象的时候相比，外行参与者的生活经验。本文借鉴了4年的PPI在一个研究项目中开发的方法，包括家庭照顾者的经济评估结果。使用PPI进行卫生经济学方法研究的关键挑战涉及（1）培训和准备，（2）保持参与，（3）选择合适的任务。我们建议三个标准选择一个研究任务的PPI输入的基础上任务的重要性，专业研究人员的技能差距，和潜在的PPI贡献。
Patient and public involvement (PPI) can be used in methods research, as well as applied research, in health economics. However, methods research goals may seem quite abstract when compared to the lived experiences of lay participants. This article draws on 4 years of PPI in a research project to develop methods for including family carer outcomes in economic evaluation. Key challenges in using PPI for health economics methods research relate to (1) training and preparation, (2) maintaining involvement, and (3) selecting suitable tasks. We suggest three criteria for selecting a research task for PPI input based on task importance, professional researcher skills gap, and potential PPI contribution.
