Using consensus from experts to inform a shared understanding of subjective terms.

CONCLUSION: Understanding the importance of linguistic clarity is an important step for healthcare researchers. Consensus methods, if managed effectively and conducted in line with the appropriate research guidelines, can bring a richer understanding to concepts.
IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This paper presents a research example that incorporates the use of a consensus method and which healthcare researchers can use to reduce the potential ambiguity of subjective terms in their research.
