You can engage with us in a variety of ways, including joining committees, participating in focus groups, or contributing to individual research projects. This type of involvement is known as Cohort Consultation, an active partnership between participants and researchers that ensures project decisions and directions are shaped by the broader cohort community.
This collaborative approach helps ensure that research priorities reflect participant perspectives, making our work more relevant, meaningful, and impactful. Our cohort members have first-hand experience with the research process as participants, and they offer valuable insights and advice. There are many different ways for participants to contribute, depending on their interests and availability.
The Raine Study follows the guidelines for consumer involvement in research published by the Consumer and Community Involvement Program, which can be found here.

Do you know other Raine Study participants? We’d like your help to reconnect with people we’ve lost track of. This person might be a work colleague, someone at your local GP or school, or a member of your sporting club.
Where to start? We’ve made it easy with a selection of templates from our Lost Participant Toolkit.
It contains:
- Social media templates – create a post on your personal social media platform.
- Email template – email your community group.
- Posters for print – ask your local library or shopping centre to display on a prominent notice board.
