Principles
AURIS research is guided by four principles: evidence before interpretation; lived experience treated as data, not anecdote; methods proportionate to the question; and open archiving so others can build on the work.
Methods we use
We combine systematic literature review, qualitative interview studies, structured practitioner observation and pilot-programme evaluation. Each study makes its method, sample and limits explicit.
