The aim of the Incorporating Perspectives and Experiences programme is to promote and develop the application of qualitative methodologies to HTA.

Qualitative research is useful for investigating stakeholder behaviours (patients, clinicians and decision makers) and contextual aspects of evaluations and HTA.

Within the IPE theme, research focuses on the development and application of qualitative methodologies to conceptual modelling, decision making, trial recruitment and trial design, developing measures, evidence synthesis, engaging stakeholders, and process evaluation. The theme offers a toolkit to support work across HEHTA's other themes, and evidence the real-life, practical experiences of health interventions spanning a range of clinical areas.
