A realist inspired barriers and facilitators evaluation of the co-creation process in the Youth-centred Participatory Action Project
This study examined barriers and facilitators of the first phase of the co-creation process as part of the Youth-centred Participatory Action (YoPA) project, a multi-country co-creation initiative to address health inequities by engaging adolescents in Denmark, Nigeria, South Africa, and the Netherlands. Using a qualitative design informed by implementation science and realist thinking, we analysed data from 22 transcripts of semi-structured inte…
Effectiveness and promising behavioral change techniques in interventions aimed at promoting physical activity in adolescents
Eighty-one percent of adolescents aged 11–17 do not meet current international guidelines for achieving 60 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily, with activity levels declining from late childhood tracking into adulthood. This review aimed to summarize the effectiveness of physical activity interventions for adolescents aged 11–17 and analyze behavioral change techniques applied in these interventions, along with factors influencing…
Key considerations in applying youth participatory action research
Youth participatory action research (YPAR) can offer young people opportunities to develop research skills and leadership. While YPAR is increasingly applied across diverse contexts, data on the considerations that guide the design, facilitation and implementation of YPAR is scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore academics’ and practitioners’ (i.e. non-academic professionals engaged in designing, facilitating or implementin…
Co-creating a systems map with adolescents
A large number of adolescents, particularly adolescents from underserved neighborhoods, often fail to meet physical activity (PA) guidelines, increasing their risk of developing noncommunicable diseases. Physical inactivity among adolescents is considered a complex problem driven by multiple, interrelated factors, and participatory action research is a valuable approach for exploring and improving the systems that influence adolescents’ PA behavi…
Child opinions related to a core outcome set for school-based healthy lifestyle behavior interventions
Introduction: Including children's perspectives developing health programs is a priority. This study gathered children's perspectives on outcomes in a Core Outcomes Set (COS), which they believe are important to measure in school-based healthy lifestyle behavioral interventions. Methods: Children aged 8-12 years from six countries across three continents participated in standardized interactive focus groups. An animation video was used to explain…
The needs of parents and their network to influence physical activity and motor development among children 0-to-4-years old
The results of this study will generate in-depth insights into parents' perceptions and needs to influence their young children's physical activity and motor development as well as the daily activities of parents and children within their physical and social environments, including the family network. These results will inform the development of intervention and implementation strategies within the larger Active System for an Active Start study, …
School staff experiences on involvement in a co-creation process
School staff indicated that excessive demands outweigh the benefits experienced during the co-creation process. Therefore, school staff preferred less time-intensive processes. Improving students outcomes was school staff's motivation to be involved, which asks for processes with student-related goals and observable student benefits. Moreover, school staff needs to be acknowledged as an expert and valued for their involvement. These results shoul…
A participatory needs assessment to map the system dynamics of overweight related behaviours of 10-14-year-old adolescents living in an underserved neighbourhood in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Our novel approach combining PAR with systems thinking gained valuable insights into the system dynamics of EBRBs from the adolescent perspective. These insights can inform future interventions targeting systems change regarding EBRBs
Your project or our project? Evaluating the participatory development of an adolescent healthy sleep intervention
Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is a promising approach to develop health promotion interventions, but more evaluation is necessary to optimize collaboration with youth. This study evaluates the participatory process of developing a school-based healthy sleep intervention from the perspective of participating adolescents. In three schools, action teams (n = 3-12, 13-15-year-olds) held weekly sessions (n = 29-34 per school) guided by th…
A concept mapping approach to explore the perceived facilitating factors in shifting sedentary behavior into (more) physical activity
HCPs and sedentary and/or inactive adults identified factors at the intra- and interpersonal level which were rated as feasible, effective and changeable, as well as factors at the responsibility of external stakeholders such as employers or policy makers. These results highlight that future interventions aimed at shifting SB into PA include a multilevel challenge
The meaning of ethical collaborative research according to young people
Incorporating the perspectives of young people regarding their perspectives on ethical collaborative research may enrich our current understanding of ethical practices within such research, as young people are capable of providing creative, innovative and novel perspectives that otherwise remain unknown to the adult academic establishment. Youth, Ethics & Participation (YEP), a qualitative study conducted as part of the Health CASCADE project, ai…
Enriching the Existing Knowledge About Co-creation
Despite increasing popularity of co-creation approaches across various types of co-creation (e.g., value co-creation) and research fields, systematic and effective theory-building of co-creation research is generally lacking. We explored co-creation literature underpinned by explicit theory, taking a hybrid approach by combining a narrative literature review of studies in various research fields and a systematic literature review of studies in th…
Applying systems thinking in youth-centred participatory action research for health promotion in an underserved neighbourhood
Purpose: Childhood overweight is considered a complex problem influenced by a range of factors, including energy balance-related behaviours (EBRBs) and interacting drivers of these behaviours. There is growing support that applying a systems approach is required to tackle complex problems resulting in actions that attempt to change the system's dynamics. Additionally, a participatory approach is advocated to include the lived experience of the po…
Navigating process evaluation in co-creation
Background Co-creation is seen as a way to ensure all relevant needs and perspectives are included and to increase its potential for beneficial effects and uptake process evaluation is crucial. However, existing process evaluation frameworks have been built on practices characterised by top-down developed and implemented interventions and may be limited in capturing essential elements of co-creation. This study aims to provide a review of studies…
Enriching the evidence base of co-creation research in public health with methodological principles of critical realism
With the popularity of co-creation research in public health and other fields, there is a need to strengthen its evidence-base by developing a framework based on meta-theoretical principles. The lack of applying meta-theoretical principles in co-creation research impedes the theory-and evidence building. Critical realism seems a promising candidate for providing meta-theoretical principles to enrich the evidence base of co-creation research in pu…
Actualizing child and adolescent empowerment in participatory action research for health promotion
Child and adolescent engagement for health promotion can be realized through participatory action research (PAR). However, there is a lack of understanding regarding the concrete steps needed to actualize such empowerment. We propose a framework that outlines six elements that need to be considered when designing a PAR study that strives to actualize child and adolescent empowerment. These are 1) Safeguarding the necessary resources; 2) Having hi…
Understanding the system dynamics of obesity-related behaviours in 10- to 14-year-old adolescents in Amsterdam from a multi-actor perspective
Introduction and Methods: To develop an understanding of the dynamics driving obesity-related behaviours in adolescents, we conducted systems-based analysis on a causal loop diagram (CLD) created from a multi-actor perspective, including academic researchers, adolescents and local stakeholders. Results: The CLD contained 121 factors and 31 feedback loops. We identified six subsystems with their goals: (1) interaction between adolescents and the f…
Gender-specific social and environmental correlates of active travel to school in four European countries
Introduction Despite the health benefits, a large proportion of girls and boys in Europe do not travel to school actively. A better understanding of the correlates associated with this behavior could guide interventions. This study examines perceived social and environmental correlates of active travel to school (ACTS) from the 2017/18 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) survey in four European countries, with a special emphasis on gen…
How to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Health Promotion Actions Developed Through Youth-Centered Participatory Action Research
Most actions targeting children’s health behaviors have limited involvement of children in the development, potentially contributing to disappointing effectiveness. Therefore, in the 3-year “Kids in Action” study, 9- to 12-year-old children from a lower-socioeconomic neighborhood were involved as coresearchers in the development, implementation, and evaluation of actions targeting health behaviors. The current study describes the controlled trial…
Trends in Neuromotor Fitness in 10-to-12-Year-Old Dutch Children
Children with a low level of neuromotor fitness are less skilled to participate in sports activities. Moreover, lower levels of neuromotor fitness are related to adiposity, lower cardiovascular health and poor self-esteem in children. The aim of this paper was to determine neuromotor fitness in 10-to-12-year-old Dutch children over a ten-year period. Test scores measured in 2015/2017 (N=533 in 2015, N=941 in 2017) were compared with scores of sam…

Not Only Adults Can Make Good Decisions, We as Children Can Do That as Well” Evaluating the Process of the Youth-Led Participatory Action Research ‘Kids in Action’
In Youth-led Participatory Action Research (YPAR), youth collaborate with academic researchers to study a problem, develop actions that align with their needs and interests, and become empowered. 'Kids in Action' aimed to develop actions targeting healthy physical activity and dietary behavior among, and together with, 9-12-year-old children as co-researchers. This paper presents the process evaluation of 'Kids in Action' based on eight focus gro…
Gender Influence on Students, Parents, and Teachers’ Perceptions of What Children and Adolescents in Germany Need to Cycle to School
Active commuting to school is highly recommended for several reasons, and in the decision-making process for doing so, a child interacts with parents and teachers. Until now, these three interactors' gender-specific perspectives on children and adolescents' need for cycling to school have been unavailable. Thus, our concept mapping study analyzed the needs of 12- to 15-year-olds in Germany for cycling to and from school daily, as perceived by stu…
Framework, principles and recommendations for utilising participatory methodologies in the co-creation and evaluation of public health interventions
Background: Society has to cope with a large burden of health issues. There is need to find solutions to prevent diseases and help individuals live healthier lifestyles. Individual needs and circumstances vary greatly and one size fit all solutions do not tend to work well. More tailored solutions centred on individuals’ needs and circumstances can be developed in collaboration with these individuals. This process, known as co-creation, has shown…
Promoting Factors for Physical Activity in Children with Asthma Explored through Concept Mapping
For children with asthma, physical activity (PA) can decrease the impact of their asthma. Thus far, effective PA promoting interventions for this group are lacking. To develop an intervention, the current study aimed to identify perspectives on physical activity of children with asthma, their parents, and healthcare providers. Children with asthma between 8 and 12 years old ( n = 25), their parents ( n = 17), and healthcare providers ( n = 21) pa…

We found no convincing evidence for an association between TV or PC time and cardiometabolic function in apparently healthy 5-6 yr olds
Dutch Primary Schoolchildren’s Perspectives of Activity-Friendly School Playgrounds
School playgrounds are important physical activity (PA) environments for children, yet only a small number of children reaches the target of 40% of moderate-to-vigorous PA time during recess. The aim of this study was to explore children's perspectives (i.e., child-identified determinants) of activity-friendly school playgrounds. We conducted participatory research with children as co-researchers, framed as a project to give children the opportun…
Sedentary Behavior Research Network (SBRN) – Terminology Consensus Project process and outcome
BACKGROUND: The prominence of sedentary behavior research in health science has grown rapidly. With this growth there is increasing urgency for clear, common and accepted terminology and definitions. Such standardization is difficult to achieve, especially across multi-disciplinary researchers, practitioners, and industries. The Sedentary Behavior Research Network (SBRN) undertook a Terminology Consensus Project to address this need. METHOD: Firs…
Using a Co-Creational Approach to Develop, Implement and Evaluate an Intervention to Promote Physical Activity in Adolescent Girls from Vocational and Technical Schools
Background: As physical inactivity is particularly prevalent amongst lower-educated adolescent girls, interventions are needed. Using a co-creational approach increases their engagement and might be effective. This study aimed to: (1) describe the co-creation process, (2) evaluate how girls experienced co-creation, and (3) evaluate the effect of the co-creational interventions on physical activity, individual, sociocultural and school-based facto…
Why Do Children Engage in Sedentary Behavior? Child- and Parent-Perceived Determinants
Todays children spend a large amount of their time sedentary. There is limited evidence on the determinants of sedentary behavior in children, and qualitative studies are especially lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to explore determinants of children's sedentary behavior from the child- and parent perspective. Qualitative data were collected during concept mapping sessions with four groups of 11-13 years old children ( n = 38) and two online …
Determinants of Child Health Behaviors in a Disadvantaged Area from a Community Perspective
Children from disadvantaged areas are hard to reach for interventions aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles. We conducted a participatory needs assessment, in which researchers collaborated with a community in a disadvantaged area in Amsterdam to gain an understanding of the health-related issues of children within this community. Qualitative data was collected through: three to four participatory group meetings with three groups of 9-12-year-old…
Do Young People Ever Sit Still? Variations in Accelerometer Counts, Muscle Activity and Heart Rate across Various Sedentary Activities in Youth
Evidence of adverse health effects of TV viewing is stronger than for overall sedentary behaviour in youth. One explanation may be that TV viewing involves less body movement than other sedentary activities. Variations in body movement across sedentary activities are currently unknown, as are age differences in such variations. This study examined body movement differences across various sedentary activities in children and adolescents, assessed …
Child- and Parent-Related Correlates of Total and Prolonged Sedentary Time in 5- to 6-Year-Old Children
The primary aim was to examine child- and parent-related correlates of accelerometer-assessed overall total and prolonged (i.e., accumulated in bouts of ≥10 consecutive minutes) sedentary time (SED) in 5- to 6-year-old children. Second, child- and parent-related correlates of total and prolonged SED during weekend days and the after school period were examined, as associations with parent-related correlates may be stronger during these periods. S…
