What the study found

Patient and public involvement (PPI) panel members, all of whom had lived experience of having a neurodivergent child, were involved in supporting the study in several ways. Their roles included advising on participant communication, study design, and data analysis.

Why the authors say this matters

The abstract does not state a specific broader implication or significance beyond describing the PPI contribution. The authors note that members of the PPI panel are included as co-authors to acknowledge their contributions.

What the researchers tested

This study was nested within the OPTIMA trial. The PPI panel co-produced the interview schedule and participated in transcript analysis using a thematic framework approach.

What worked and what didn't

The abstract says the PPI panel provided ongoing support and took part in both study design and analysis. It does not report comparative outcomes, effectiveness measures, or anything that did not work.

What to keep in mind

The available summary is limited to the abstract, which describes the PPI process but does not provide study findings about parents' experiences or the trial outcomes. Limitations are not described in the available summary.
