Ethical integration of citizen science and youth participatory action research: insights from the YouthChronic project.
Article in Research involvement and engagement, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEngaging youth in public health research may foster inclusivity and equity. Citizen science (CS) and youth participatory action research (YPAR) aim to democratise research by promoting active involvement but are not free from ethical challenges. CS emphasises large-scale participation through digital tools, while YPAR empowers youth as co-researchers. MAIN BODY: This article reflects on the YouthChronic project, a Danish initiative involving young people with chronic conditions through CS and YPAR. It examines ethical considerations such as emotional and physical risks, confidentiality, support balance, marginalisation, and fostering healthy relationships. It also reviews recent recommendations for youth engagement, including meaningful involvement, inclusivity, training, addressing power imbalances, and creating safe spaces.
conclusionCombining CS and YPAR may offer a transformative approach to youth public health research if anchored in ethical principles. Our YouthChronic experience highlights the importance of an agreed-upon ethical framework with youth participants to ensure trustworthy, inclusive discussions and risk mitigation.
