About the Presentation:
Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) is a model of collaborative research that involves researchers partnering with knowledge users throughout the research process to enhance the relevance, applicability and impact of research. In this presentation, we will explore 1) what IKT is and why is it important in mental health research; 2) how to prevent tokenistic and adhoc engagement and facilitate meaningful engagement of those with lived and learned expertise; and 3) practical examples of iKT in mental health research.
