P116 Healthy shiftwork: Co-designed. Clickable. Credible.

Abstract Introduction Young adults (18–25 years) working shifts face increased risks of sleep and circadian disruption, contributing to long-term health consequences. Despite this, age-appropriate and accessible sleep health resources are lacking. This project aimed to develop and translate tailored, evidence-based content into engaging formats for young shiftworkers. Methods A participatory co-design approach was used, involving 48 co-designers including young, current, and former shiftworkers, workplace health and safety professionals, science communicators, and academic researchers. Co-designers participated in online workshops to identify relevant content areas and shape the tone and delivery of the resources. Reflexive thematic analysis of workshop transcripts identified core themes, which were aligned with scientific evidence to guide resource development. Results Five key themes were identified: (1) sleep science, (2) impacts of poor sleep, (3) habits influencing sleep, (4) strategies to improve sleep, and (5) workplace recommendations. These themes were translated into three primary delivery modes: a) An interactive website featuring in-depth, accessible content; b) A pictorial infographic summarising key takeaways; c) an animated video for digital and social media use. A consistent visual identity and tone were applied to ensure appeal and usability for young audiences. Discussion This project demonstrates how participatory methods can inform not only what content is developed, but how it is delivered. Translating sleep health science into youth-friendly formats may enhance engagement and impact. Evaluation of reach, usability, and behaviour change outcomes is now warranted.
