Aims And Method: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is a priority for health research. PPI improves the relevance and quality of research. The study aimed to involve service users in identifying research priorities for the service. A two-phase adapted Delphi technique was used to generate a list of research topics from service users in secure in-patient mental health settings and on specialist mental health prison wings. Topic content analysis was undertaken. Service users were further consulted, and research themes were ranked in order of priority.

Results: Of the eight research themes identified, the three given the highest priority by service users were, in descending order, physical health, future plans and moving on, and causes of illness and crime.

Clinical Implications: Service users are willing to be involved in setting research priorities for mental health services. Through non-tokenistic PPI, service users can uniquely shape the research agenda of mental health services.

Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and comprehensive language to talk about the threats they are facing to facilitate joint action, evaluation, and learning. To meet this need, in 2008 the IUCN Species Survival Commission and the Conservation Measures Partnership produced the first version of a common threats classification with the understanding that it would be periodically updated to take into account new information and learning.

Article Synopsis
  • Malawi started its cochlear implantation program in 2014, and the number of children using the implants has increased, allowing for a better assessment of hearing outcomes.
  • Nineteen children with severe-to-profound deafness were studied, showing significant improvements in hearing thresholds after receiving unilateral cochlear implants, indicated by a reduction in mean PTA thresholds from 110.8 dB to 37.8 dB.
  • The study concluded that Malawi's cochlear implantation program is effective in treating hearing loss in children, but challenges still exist for further program expansion.
