1.Y.2. PechaKucha: Co-approaches with hardly reached populations

Abstract In three presentations of ideas and challenges in co-design and co-research with youth will be presented. Using co-approaches to develop, design, create or research with a target population asks for creative methods and comes with many challenges especially regarding youth. Methods in research or design are often not tailored to that population. Not to mention the ethical challenges we face when setting up, and doing research and design with young people. In this session practical insights from different countries, settings and for different contexts such as Health Literacy and Health promotion are presented. The first presentation focusses on health literacy and health promotion co-design which is culturally responsive and inclusive with parents and educational professionals. Key skills will be presented for both researchers and the target population. The second presentation is about co-research with youth and aims to present key factors for meaningful and effective co-research with adolescents based on evidence from the literature and from recent co-research studies on health literacy. We present possible methods for doing meaningful co-research with youth for example to develop measurement instruments. The third presentation focusses on co-design with school-aged children. The methods and activities used in the co-design process will be presented as well as the challenges we faced in the co-design process. After the presentation there is ample time to discuss challenges and facilitators to conducting co-approaches, from co-design to co-research. Key messages • Get inspiration for methods used in co-approaches and co-research with youth. • Get inspiration for solutions of challenges in co-approaches and co-research.
