The COMET Initiative recognises the expertise and crucial contribution of patients and carers in developing relevant core outcome sets.
We have developed three plain language summaries:
We have also developed a whiteboard animation video:
This video explains what core outcome sets (COS) are, why they are important and how patients and the public are involved in developing COS.
You can view a subtitled version of the video (in multiple languages) here.
We acknowledge the involvement of the COS Video Development Group, including: Rosemary Humphreys; Christine Vial; Rebecca Craven; Nicola Harman; Liz Gargon; Bridget Young; Paula Williamson; Sarah Gorst and Heather Bagley.
If you are a COS developer and you decide to use this video in your COS study, we would be grateful if you could acknowledge the “What are Core Outcome Sets” COMET Initiative video.
