216 Chapter 8 of various researchers to tailor pain treatments to individual patient needs (Eccleston & Crombez, 2017; Vlaeyen & Crombez, 2020). Through various student projects, we are currently evaluating the usability and clinical potential of the persuasive-by-design model as an instrument for tailoring behaviour change strategies in a clinical setting. The first results indicate that the model contributes positively to the integration of behaviour change techniques into clinical practice and clinical reasoning (Beekhuizen, 2018; Gilhuis, 2018; Schaefers, 2020). Transformative Effect on the Research Network The final area of impact concerns the increased collaboration between the research network partners. This project started with the SOLACE project, funded by SIA RAAK (2014-01-23P). The key objective of this Dutch public funding agency is to stimulate strategic partnerships between universities and other public institutions to collaborate on important social issues (Regieorgaan & SIA, n.d.). Conforming with this ideal, the consortium partners have regularly collaborated in subsequent projects, further strengthening the links in this network. The current state is a form of ongoing project-based collaboration, with a specific focus on translating research findings to optimize clinical practice. The recurring central role of co-design within these projects indicates an increased interest in the inclusion of stakeholders and end-users into the research design. This transformative impact does not only fit the aims of SIA RAAK but is also been considered as one of the main ambitions of co-design research in general (Robert et al., 2020).
