Our latest blog by DEPTH researcher Dr Sam Miles<\/a><\/em><\/em> takes a break from coronavirus research to explore the themes of co-production and collaboration in our recently completed project<\/em> This Sickle Cell Life<\/a>. Read on to find out more…<\/em><\/h4>\n

Regular readers of this blog will know that our work in DEPTH<\/a> (Dialogue, Evidence, Participation & Translation for Health) includes thinking about how we involve different communities in health research. Today I’m writing about This Sickle Cell Life<\/em><\/a>, a recently completed qualitative research project that talks to young people about their lives and experiences of having sickle cell disease. I should add that some of what I\u2019m writing about is based on team discussions and reflections. We\u2019re writing this up in more detail with our co-authors and I\u2019ll keep you posted on how it progresses.<\/p>\n

I got involved in This Sickle Cell Life<\/em> with Professor Cicely Marston<\/a> and Dr Alicia Renedo<\/a> when I started here at LSHTM<\/a> in 2017. Funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR<\/a>), the project explores how young people experience transitions in moving from paediatric to adult healthcare services. This includes for example how our participants experience GP surgeries, scheduled hospital visits or unscheduled (i.e. emergency) trips to A&E. We also explored the personal and day-to-day experiences of young people living with sickle cell disease. We were aiming to answer questions including: What is the relationship between a young person with sickle cell and their doctor, and how does this change if you move away from home for college, university or work? And why do young people with sickle cell sometimes delay going to the emergency department when they have a sickle cell pain crisis? (Read this excellent overview<\/a> by Sickle Cell Society<\/a> for more on pain). We then cast the net wider to think about family, school, sex and relationships.<\/p>\n

Our aim was to offer a much-needed sociological picture of how a young person with sickle cell navigates their life and their future, to mirror the more extensive clinical and quantitative research that has been published about the condition. That\u2019s not to say that sickle cell research is exactly a crowded market \u2013 Professor Simon Dyson<\/a>, who has made brilliant sociological contributions over many years, has rightly noted the lack of sickle cell research compared to other chronic health conditions, and how social, economic and ethnic determinants play into this marginalisation:<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2026impairment is primarily socially created by environmental factors, consumption patterns and accidents and not by genetic disorders.\u2019<\/em> (Dyson 1998: p.123<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Co-production<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fieldwork was already expertly wrapped up by Alicia when I joined the project, but I got to be part of the really interesting results analysis, discussion and dissemination work, including an engagement event<\/a> with the public which in turn led to some fantastic community projects of its own. You can read more about the work here<\/a>, but what I\u2019m going to focus on in this blog was the role of \u2018co-production\u2019 in the project: put simply, that means working with different \u2018kinds\u2019 of people to produce research that is a collaborative effort<\/strong>. Co-produced research recognises that expertise is held by a range of people rather than only the ‘usual suspects’ (in this scenario, academics or clinicians). Advocates of co-production hope that the research findings developed are more rounded-out and take into account the \u2018embodied\u2019 knowledge of people who are living the journey themselves (see Renedo et al., 2018<\/a> for more).<\/p>\n

One of the distinctive features of This Sickle Cell Life<\/em> was that it was co-produced with two young sickle cell patient experts and a sickle cell parent\/carer expert from the outset. All three have extensive knowledge of sickle cell and life with sickle cell, and already advocate for healthcare improvement in their own lives. They were involved long before I was \u2013 right from the project planning and application stage before funding was granted, in fact. They were also paid for their time. Partnering with these three experts added a very important facet to the research we conducted. There is a lot of talk in public health research about \u2018PPI\u2019, or patient & public involvement with healthcare. In the NHS, the motto \u2018nothing about me, without me\u2019 represents one way in which patient involvement is rationalised. Funders and grant-giving bodies are (rightly) keen to see meaningful involvement with the communities (sometimes also called beneficiaries) who are most relevant to the research being done. Co-production can also shine a light on the power imbalances that often happen in a traditional researcher-participant relationship in social sciences research which can reinforce all sorts of unhelpful hierarchies and prejudices.<\/p>\n

In our project, we agreed with our patient experts that it was particularly important that their voices were heard, because they contributed expert knowledge of their bodies and their own health conditions<\/strong>, as well as helping us at the findings stage of the research, highlighting themes that were most pertinent to improving healthcare environments for people with sickle cell. We further argued at every stage (to colleagues, institutions, sceptics \u2013 anyone who would listen basically) that our involvement processes needed to be considered, balanced, and properly thought-through \u2013 lip-service involvement doesn\u2019t help any party and it is not in the spirit of meaningful participation. We wanted to amplify less-heard voices and hear stories from our patient experts and carer experts because their analysis of their own, and others\u2019, experiences of sickle were invaluable. Our collaborators\u2019 input contributed a different side to more traditional qualitative research; as a team, we worked to interpret the data and draw out the implications for practice.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the project for me was not just the valuable findings that came out of 80 interviews with young people, which are research outputs of their own brilliantly managed by Alicia (which you can read for free here<\/a><\/strong>), but the process of co-producing research with patient experts and carers. I have discussed the idea of co-production a bit in my own digital technology and sexuality research, in which I (loosely) explored the co-production by both researcher and participant of a safe discursive space for covering sensitive topics in sex and sexuality in fieldwork research (which you can read for free here<\/a><\/strong>). But This Sickle Cell Life<\/em> made co-production central from the start and throughout the full four years of the project; it is clear to me only now how truly different this way of working is, and the value it adds.<\/p>\n

The winding road to publication: How expertise is framed in academia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What was interesting was how our co-produced research outputs were received by peer reviewers for academic journals. Having learnt so much from our patient experts about how their experiences reflected what our results showed us about participants\u2019 experiences, we invited them to write an academic article with us. We did this by discussing study findings with them and inviting them to discuss these themes with us as I took notes and recordings to write into a larger discussion. It was a long process, involving lots of conversations in cafes, on the phone and by email to coordinate our different experiences and expertise.<\/p>\n

However, upon submission several reviewers critiqued what they felt to be overly personal accounts of sickle cell. Even having noted our co-produced efforts and celebrated this ethos, reviewers still picked out patient expert passages that they felt were lacking objective research \u2013 questioning the expertise of our co-production partners who were best placed to be reflecting on the study findings<\/em>. Where our patient experts told us how their experiences chimed with those of the participants when it came to hospital care or chronic ill health or family issues, and I wove these reflections into our discussion section, reviewers felt this expertise was anecdotal or somehow unscientific \u2013 as if the rest of the qualitative dataset was by contrast unobjectionable or markedly positivist, when of course it wasn\u2019t. We were in the paradoxical position of amplifying the expert knowledge of people with sickle cell and yet that knowledge being somehow too \u2018real-life\u2019.<\/p>\n

We were in the paradoxical position of amplifying the expert knowledge of people with sickle cell and yet that knowledge was somehow too \u2018real-life\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have sympathy for the reviewers, too, because despite the best will of a whole range of actors to more actively incorporate a range of knowledges into academic publications, establishment traditions prevail. This clashes with what I guess I would call the out-of-place-ness of equitable authorship, which synthesises a range of voices, including those which are non-establishment and may contribute in different (often refreshingly different) ways than are standard. None of this is to say that it wasn\u2019t a valuable experience, but it was a long one. Critical Public Health <\/em>and its editors did support our approach, with suggestions back and forth, and published what we hope will be the first of several co-produced articles (read it for free here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\n
\"Screen<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

That leads us to one of the curious tensions in this kind of work \u2013 our collaborators are clearly experts, but they\u2019re not academics. Does that matter? Well, it shouldn\u2019t \u2013 especially given the UK NHS drive to centre patients and public<\/a> at the forefront of research and healthcare involvement. And yet the process of publishing papers with our patient experts was not straightforward. It required different ways of working than what we were all used to, and different approaches \u2013 and that\u2019s before we consider the lengthy journey we then had publishing our co-produced academic article, where roadblocks re-emerged.<\/p>\n

I came to see that the key contribution of any author is their contribution to \u2018the work\u2019, and this can go far beyond typing up results or making an argument for changing UK healthcare practices in an academic article. Instead, it is about having conversations \u2013 in ways that ensure equity between all parties \u2013 and then using academics\u2019 toolkits to package this co-produced knowledge whilst maintaining its integrity. For us, a more liberatory outcome would have been yet more unconventional than the finished piece. Maybe this would have taken us further from what makes an academic article an academic article. Well, you might argue, if you really want to publish more collaboratively, perhaps a different format would be better suited \u2013 a commentary, or an editorial, or a blog \u2013 and we are in the process of doing all those things. But this argument overlooks the ostensible openness of academic publishing to co-produced and public involvement endeavours. We\u2019re all supposed to be embracing that ethos\u2026aren\u2019t we? There is work to do, it seems, in lining up expectations with conventions in co-produced research outputs.<\/p>\n

Final thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As for the research itself, it\u2019s been a fantastically valuable project<\/a> for better understanding the health and social conditions of sickle cell. There are definitely ways we can further improve on our approaches to co-production for next time. It\u2019s also not to say that our co-production work was straightforward or easy. On the contrary, it required constant communication between all parties to stay on the same page. But that ongoing relationship, and that time taken to gather views from around the table really ought to be how we always operate: with care, consideration and dialogue between all parties at all times. We came to define it as \u2018slow co-production\u2019, which I\u2019ve blogged<\/a> about before (we lay out what we think are its strengths in this<\/a> <\/strong>article). It is only within the tight parameters of contemporary academic research contracts that this valuable, lengthy process feels like a luxury. I should add that the NIHR were very supportive of our approach and helped us build into our budget money to support exactly this kind of process, and they also gave us a generous timeframe in which to generate all this co-produced work.<\/p>\n

It also encourages us to question what constitutes \u2018knowledge\u2019, who or what entities \u2018hold\u2019 knowledge (and you see it performed nowhere more starkly than in healthcare settings), and of the power imbalance between researcher and participant. Now I think twice before internalising the status quo of privilege and position in knowledge-holding (and knowledge exchange). I think more about how practical experience informs knowledge \u2013 or is overlooked by systems of knowledge and knowing \u2013 and who actually <\/em>gets a seat at the table in supposedly collaborative endeavours. Cicely and Alicia have written about all of this and more, and you can read this work here,<\/a><\/strong> here<\/a> <\/strong>and here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Pursuing co-production helps us recognise the importance of prioritising equitable social science research that values all voices equally and recognises a range of expertise, rather than relying on the (often colonial, socially-structured, privileged) expertise bestowed \u2013 and often still prioritised \u2013 by academia.<\/p>\n
