GRIPP2

A reporting checklist that helps you describe how patients and the public were involved in your research, what they did and what difference it made.

What it is¶

GRIPP2 comes in two forms. The long form has 34 items for studies whose main subject is patient and public involvement (PPI); the short form has five items (aim, methods, results, outcomes and critical reflection) for studies where PPI was part of the work but not its focus. It was developed with a three-round Delphi survey and a consensus meeting, with patients involved as research partners throughout. Using it when you plan involvement also reminds you what you will need to record.

In healthcare¶

GRIPP2 was written for health and social care research and is listed by the EQUATOR Network. It applies directly when you involve patients in the design or evaluation of a medical AI study.

Where to use it in The ELSA Way¶

• Stakeholder engagement › Methods for patient engagement: Whichever engagement method you choose, the GRIPP2 items tell you what to plan and record so that you can later report who was involved, how, and what changed as a result.
