Children and young people's contributions to public involvement and engagement activities in health-related research: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There has been an increasing interest in how children and young people can be involved in patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in health research. However, relatively little robust evidence exists about which children and young people are reported as being involved or excluded from PPIE; the methods reported as being used to involve them in PPIE; and the reasons presented for their involvement in PPIE and what happens as a result. We performed a scoping review to identify, synthesise and present what is known from the literature about patient and public involvement and engagement activities with children and young people in health related research.

Methods

Relevant studies were identified by searches in Scopus, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane and PsychIn
