highlights key methodological aspects of these approaches;
gives insights from projects across different cultural contexts and academic disciplines, showing ways in which older participants can be involved in co-designing different stages of the research cycle;
examines key issues to consider when involving older participants at each step of the research process;
includes the voices of older adults directly;
draws out conclusions and points ways forward for future research.

It will be useful for third-sector advocacy organizations and international non-governmental and public agencies working either in citizen involvement/participation or the ageing sector.
