Our faculty member , Ms. Sifat-E Sultana, Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, East West University, in a recent collaborative research publication investigated Patient Oriented Research (POR) technique. It is new technique to the healthcare research landscape in Canada, and they  applied it to the forensic field. 

They begin the review by introducing POR, the POR Level of Engagement Tool, and complimentary approaches used in research with forensic patients and then presented the potential key challenges, paradoxes, and benefits of applying POR to a forensic mental health setting. 

They conclude the review article with recommendations on how to meaningfully, and practically, involve forensic psychiatric patients diagnosed with mental disorders in POR when initiating a project. 

They also suggested that forensic psychiatric patients can provide insightful knowledge based on their experiences of mental illness to improve the prison health care system and practices.
