abstract = {There is currently limited information and guidance on
utilising participatory research within forensic mental
health settings. This systematic review aimed to explore the
use of participatory research within those settings,
identify helpful practices, barriers and challenges, as well
as explore the impact reported of participatory research in
research and knowledge production. Fourteen studies and
eleven other types of publications have been identified from
electronic databases, PsycINFO, PubMed, Embase, Web Of
Science Core Collection, Google Scholar and ProQuest and
hand searches of academic journals. Thematic analysis was
used for synthesising data collected. Four themes were
identified: (1) Building equal relationships, (2) Speaking
the same language, (3) An involving system, (4) Impact for
all. Analysis showed that the use of participatory research
in such settings relies on human interaction and equal
co-production within commonly restrictive and coercive
environments. The complexity of participatory research is
also reflected in its reporting. A standardised (but also
flexible) model of reporting would be valuable for future
research. In addition to summarizing the findings of
research in this area, we have compiled a list of ‘active
ingredients’ for the successful use of participatory
research in forensic mental health settings.The online
