Launch: Practical Guides to Assist Researchers Engage with Young People
Date: Tuesday, 28 March 1:00PM – 2:00PM AEDT
Location: Online
There is growing evidence that health research on issues affecting young people is better when young people are engaged across the research phases. Join us for a special and interactive March webinar, hosted by Professor Philippa Collin (from Durham in the UK), Research Officer Mia Cox, and a panel of WH&Y Commissioners. The team will introduce us to a suite of resources aimed at guiding researchers on how best to engage and collaborate with young people in ways that are respectful, inclusive, aware, and power-neutral.
What can you expect:
- An introduction to engaging young people in health research
- Preview of the guidebook, tools and resources and how to apply them
- An interactive panel discussion and Q&A with young people and researchers to unpack the process of engaging young people through the research cycle
The panel includes:
- Professor Phillipa Collin - Professor at the Institute for Culture and Society at Western Sydney University and co-director of the Young and Resilient Research Centre
- Maia Giordano - Executive Officer, Australian Association for Adolescent Health
- Cristyn Davies - Research Fellow in the Discipline of Child and Adolescent Health, University of Sydney Clinical School, The Children's Hospital at Westmead
