Co-creating Resources to Engage Young People in Health Research

This unique sample collection will help pioneer new treatments and create better care for children. Through interactive workshops led by Vocal and in collaboration with creative partners Salt and Sister Studios, we co-produced posters and flyers with 11-16year-olds.

These resources aim to raise awareness and understanding of health research with a Greater Manchester identity and get more young people to join the D-CYPHR study.

If we can get the positive message about health research embedded at a younger age, the hope is that young people will take this through into their adult lives.

I think [the researchers] have a better understanding of what young people will stop and look at when joining research.
