Summary

Children are the focus of numerous studies on wellbeing, yet they seldom participate in scientific research that informs interventions or health innovations in a meaningful way. This is a missed opportunity for research, for practice and for children. In this transformative project, convergence researchers, children (aged 8-12 years) and (mental) health care professionals explore three important challenges of child participation in research. Together we will co-create a roadmap towards a child research hub aiming to promote and support future participation.
