Hello & Welcome to the Research Zone podcast, the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. Each week, we will talk to a different researcher to learn about their research project, discussing the why, what, where, when and how of their research, and most importantly, how this can benefit us as young people. 

Today I am joined by Abi to chat about Emerging Minds and their project called ‘The Big Question’ which looks at issues with research implementation (aka putting research into practise). We cover: 

• What Emerging Minds is
• The project called the Big Question - what is it? 
• Who was involved, and how? 
• What commissioners, young people, and parents thought about research implementation 
• The hopes of the project 
• Wheres it at right now and what’s coming up?
