Warraitch, A., Bruce, D., Lee, M., Curran, P., Khraisha, Q., & Hadfield, K. (2023). Involving adolescents in the design, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of health research: An umbrella review protocol. BMJ Open, 13(6), Article No: e069695.

This article outlines a research protocol which will involve the development of a set of comprehensive evidence-based guidelines on youth involvement in health research. To inform these guidelines. The steps are described as follows: conducting an umbrella review to (1) summarise and synthesise findings from reviews on involving adolescents in health research, (2) consolidate the challenges experienced in youth involvement and the recommendations to mitigate these challenges, (3) identify best practices and (4) identify gaps and methodological weaknesses in the extant literature on involving adolescents in health research.
