Patients' associations increasingly support research into the diseases affecting them. What exactly is their role? Are all such associations involved in the same way, or are there various forms of involvement? And if there are, how can they be reviewed? The answers to these questions vary with the countries, their institutional settings, & their history. They also depend on the nature & features of the diseases. Beyond these varied configurations, however, typical forms of involvement may be discerned. This article seeks to supply basic information & put forward some thoughts on the subject. As there are so few studies available, it deals in the main with the situation in France, from which more general conclusions are tentatively drawn. It shows the growing involvement of patients' associations in research. It singles out two types of association, on the basis of the role they assign to patients: auxiliary associations & partner associations. Emphasis is laid on the originality of the partner associations, which tend to bridge the customary rift between specialists & the rest of us. 1 Table, 20 References.
