Consumer engagement in medical research should be early, ongoing, and meaningful, to improve patient-centred research design and outcomes. Evaluating the impact of consumer input builds the evidence base needed to sustain and improve ongoing involvement efforts. Multiple evaluation tools are available. Here we explore the landscape of evaluation tools and apply the Australian Clinical Trials Alliance (ACTA) tool to evaluate the impact and process of consumer involvement in a recently completed project.
