Meeting in the mist: key considerations in a collaborative research partnership with people with mental health issues.

Objectives: This study explored the experiences of an established collaborative research group, which were collected as data to gain research skills. Currently ideas about user involvement and knowledge transfer have not been considered together, indicating possible gaps in knowledge.

Participants: Eight members of the group took part, including five people using local mental health services, an assistant and an occupational therapist from local services, and an academic.
