Abstract

This article discusses the methodology used to engage a group of patients in a low secure unit in a research project to evaluate the effects of methods of observation.

The results are summarised, and some surprising themes from the interviews are reflected upon.

This very small scale, qualitative study suggests that patients in secure units can be meaningfully engaged in research; and this must continue, as this project has demonstrated that these patients have views which other published research has not brought to light.
