Exploring key factors related to child well-being: a community-based participatory research together with children with migration background residing in socio-economically disadvantaged areas of Malmö, Sweden

The dialogs with the children provided a deeper understanding and a holistic view of the perceptions of children with migration backgrounds residing in socio-economically disadvantaged areas regarding essential factors for their well-being. Future research should focus on developing strategies that ensure children's access to the factors they have identified as fundamental to their well-being. Our study has further shown that it is pivotal to ensure children's inclusion and participation in health promotion initiatives. These initiatives need to be contextually relevant and work toward building community capacity, to promote child well-being.
