Engaging young people in clinical research
Youngsters EngAgement in Health (YEAH) involves teens in the co-design of health research.
Ethical concerns have historically made clinical research involving minors challenging, yet many health conditions only impact the young.
YEAH aims to develop a sustainable, patient-centred model for engaging young citizens in health science. By involving young people in the design of research programmes, YEAH ensures that research and its outcomes are aligned with their needs and preferences.
