It's usually the job of the researcher to devise a hypothesis, set up a trial, and collect data. But in participatory research, some of this power is handed to the study participants; in the case of paediatric research, it's given to children. The idea is to have children play an active role in the questions being asked, the data collection process, and any actions that result from a study. A new paper sets out to find examples of participatory research in paediatrics and gives suggestions on best practices.
