Kids in Action - Helpful Links and Resources

For information on different forms of participatory research refer to the position papers on this website.
 
A great overview of the theory, opportunities and challenges of participatory health research with children can be found in:
Kellett, M. (2010). "Small Shoes, Big Steps! Empowering Children as Active Researchers " Am J Community Psychol 46: 195-203 - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/wol1/doi/10.1007/s10464-010-9324-y/abstract
 
Useful principles for conducting participatory activities with children have been developed by Save the Children:

In developing the Kids in Action initiative we keep coming across some fantastic work in this field. Here are some links that may be of interest. We will keep adding to them!
