Abstract
Currently, there is an increasing interest in involving the health service users in the development of Clinical practice guidelines (CPG),specially in the more complex and frequent health problems, as the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The purpose of this article is to communicate the novel qualitative methodology that has been used to maximize the impact of the perspective of a group of users with GAD in the development of a CPG about it. To that end, focal groups were performed and, from the content analysis, the users testimonials were linked to the evidence-based recommendations of the CPG based on the same topic, in order to situate both sources of information at the same level of relevance.
