- Engaging adolescents as active partners in research is vital for amplifying diverse voices and driving social change.
- A youth-led participatory action research (YPAR) study in Ontario involved teams of young researchers identifying and exploring issues related to adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights.
- The YPAR approach not only empowered youth by centering their experiences but also highlighted significant barriers to sexual health services, informing policy and practice improvements on accessibility and education.
Aims: Surgeon and patient reluctance to participate are potential significant barriers to conducting placebo-controlled trials of orthopaedic surgery. Understanding the preferences of orthopaedic surgeons and patients regarding the design of randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCT-Ps) of knee procedures can help to identify what RCT-P features will lead to the greatest participation. This information could inform future trial designs and feasibility assessments.
