SPQR

The SPQR (Standard Participant Question Response), is a feedback mechanism for researchers to check participants have understood and welcome the research they participated in.

SPQR fulfils an overall need to evaluate research practices more carefully – bringing in participant perspective.

The SPQR was developed by two members of the Autistic Space Kit team with constructive critical comment from members of the Autistic Advisory Panel to the National Autism Project.
