| Annotation | This article draws on the first-known review of user-controlled research to explore the potential contribution of service user knowledge and service user research in the development of evidence-based policy and practice in health and social care. It locates the discussion in the context of competing research ideologies and the broader history of user involvement and user-controlled research. The concept of valid knowledge remains contested, and, drawing the views of service users, this article suggests that their research and experiential knowledge is likely to have a helpful and particular role to play in the generation of useful knowledge as part of a wider spectrum of research approaches and knowledge production, and that the position of such research should be safeguarded to enable this to happen.
