GRIPP2 Reporting Checklists: tools to improve reporting of patient and public involvement in research

 

GRIPP2 is the first international guidance for reporting of patient and public involvement in health and social care research. This paper describes the development of the GRIPP2 reporting checklists, which aim to improve the quality, transparency, and consistency of the international patient and public involvement (PPI) evidence base, to ensure that PPI practice is based on the best evidence.
