Co-production is a research area that focuses on the collaboration between researchers and community members, stakeholders, or policy makers in the research process. This approach aims to involve these individuals in all stages of the research, from designing the study and collecting data to analyzing results and disseminating findings. By bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, co-production can lead to more relevant and meaningful research outcomes that can better address real-world problems and inform decision-making. This approach can also help build stronger relationships between researchers and the communities they study, leading to more impactful and sustainable research projects.
