Reporter (Research Studies)

/rɪˈpɔːtə/

The individual, group of individuals, or entity providing patient experience data. They may be patients, parents, sexual/romantic partners, caregivers, physicians, or other healthcare professionals. Appropriate selection will depend on the definition of the target patient population of interest. If a patient can be reasonably expected to reliably self-report, then one would expect them to be the reporter in that research study.
