The systematic review methodology literature refers to the importance of involving stakeholders, including service users & carers, in the research. However, compared with other aspects of the methodology, this aspect of conducting systematic reviews is underdeveloped & the practice of involvement appears highly variable. This article draws on the experience of working with service users & carers in one systematic review to review the barriers to participation & the components of effective involvement. It suggests that quality standards can be identified for service user & carer involvement in systematic reviews, which will benefit policy & practice development. 77 References.
