Description
Lucy Biddle and Zoe Haime argue in 2024 that participatory research in youth mental health needs to return to its core values. Involving young people is now well accepted and often required by funders. Yet the authors worry the approach can become a box-ticking exercise that loses meaning over time.
They urge researchers to examine why and how they involve youth, not just what and when. Young people bring a natural knowledge advantage from lived experience. That should earn them a distinct collaborative role, not professionalized tasks. Researchers must also build the skills such partnership demands, they argue.
