Patient and Public Involvement in Research (PPI) is an evolving concept around the world and is a key driver of equity and social justice
- •
PPI in Research ensures that research reflects the needs and values of those it serves.
- •
Proper training on how to use PPI in research should be made mandatory for researchers, patients, and the public.
- •
Low- and middle-income countries, like Brazil, must encourage the implementation of PPI in health-related research studies.
