How are patient and public members involved?

EXPAND has been created with input from lived experience members from ethnic minority groups with experience of neurodevelopmental disorders and/or accessing child mental health services. Our lived experience members informed the study aims and methods. They will continue to input on study materials and outputs and will conduct the study alongside researchers.
