Popis: Aim: To assess reproductive health clinicians’ knowledge of and attitudes toward comparative effectiveness research (CER), patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) and patient engagement in research. Materials & methods: Web-based survey of reproductive health clinicians. Results: Among 103 responding clinicians, familiarity with CER and PCOR was moderate (35 and 44%, respectively). Once definitions were provided, most respondents agreed with the potential positive impacts of CER and patient engagement (65–87%), the importance of PCOR (95–99%) and that their patients might be interested in engaging in research as more than subjects (93%). Conclusion: We found positive attitudes toward PCOR and CER, and a range of experiences with patient engagement in research. There may be untapped potential for PCOR and CER in the reproductive health field.
