Co-production of knowledge: the future

The authors address that co-production is a collaborative model of research that includes stakeholders such as patients, the public, donors, clinicians, service providers, and policymakers. It is a sharing of power, with stakeholders and researchers working together to develop the agenda, design and implement the research, and interpret, disseminate, and implement the findings. There is much interest and activity in co-production. No doubt our thinking will evolve over the next few years. Recently, however, over the next few years, it will be critical to shift the focus from conceptual and descriptive work to more rigorous examinations of the effect of co-production and tests of when, where, and how it can be used most effectively.
