Co-designing interventions to improve the experiences of children and young people taking part in eye and vision research using experience-based co-design
Ci2i project: Co-designing interventions to improve the experiences of children and young people taking part in eye and vision research using experience-based co-design.
Children and young people are invited to take part in vital eye and vision research to enable the development of safe, effective, and acceptable treatments and care. This project focuses on the quality of eye and vision research delivery for this young population, which should be child and family-centred, leading to positive experiences with valid and credible results. Families who have taken part in eye and vision research at Moorfields Eye Hospital and research staff will be invited to join.
The research methods of experience-based co-design (EBCD) have been chosen to enable children and young people, parents/guardians and staff to share their views about what is important to their research experiences, then work together to design ways to improve. Advisory groups, including children and young peope, have helped shape the project design of this National Institute for Health Research and Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre funded project. The findings will contribute to improving children and young people’s vision-related health by improving the way we research it.
Aims
• To identify and understand which aspects of the paediatric eye and vision research experience are working well and where improvements can be made
• To co-design improvement interventions with children and young people, parents/guardians and staff
• To evaluate the project methods used (experience-based co-design)
• To assess how feasible the co-designed intervention(s) are, deciding which to take forward for subsequent evaluation.
• To recommend appropriate research design and outcome measures for a subsequent evaluation project.
Methods
The project will use the participatory approach of experience-based co-design methodology.
