“…The study of Macken et al 2 aimed to explore the use of Body Mapping as a research method with young people in residential treatment for drug and alcohol issues and to examine how Body Mapping can engage young people in exploring their strengths and sources of support during treatment. They found that Body Mapping produced richer data and accessed new narratives not usually captured in more traditional interviews, in a subsequent interview where young people explained their Body Map.…”

“…1 Drawing on narrative, visual, audio and experiential forms of artmaking, arts-based research can elucidate otherwise hidden knowledge as participants give meaning to their experiences in forms beyond the spoken or written word. [2][3][4][5] ABM can involve the integration of artmaking in the data collection process, often in conjunction with other more traditional data collection methods such as interviews, focus groups or ethnographic research. ABM can also be used in the research process to create, disseminate or translate research, often through exhibitions, installation or performance.…”

Background Arts‐based methodologies and methods (ABM) can elicit rich and meaningful data with seldom‐heard groups and empower participants in research. Young people with complex psychosocial needs could be better engaged in research using arts‐based approaches to overcome communication and literacy issues as well as distrust of those with power, including researchers. A critical review of the use and impact of ABM among this population is timely. The purpose of this review is to synthesize and examine the experience and use of ABM with young people with complex psychosocial needs. Methods A systematic narrative literature review was conducted with a search of the literature from 2009 to 2021. All abstracts were reviewed independently by two authors and full papers were screened for eligibility against inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data synthesis focused on a descriptive numerical summary and a thematic analysis focused on key patterns across papers relating to the review objectives. Results and Discussion A total of 25 papers were included. The most common issues of focus were mental health (n = 10) and homelessness (n = 11) and methods using Photovoice (n = 12) and Body Mapping (n = 5). Individual interview data (n = 20) were the most commonly analysed, followed by created works (n = 19). Less than half the studies involved young people in the interpretation of the data collected. Knowledge translation was not described in almost half the studies, with public exhibits (n = 7) and forums with service providers (n = 4) being the most common activities. Key themes across the studies were valued over traditional methods in eliciting data, ABM as an approach to engage these young people in research and the impact of the use of ABM on participants and on key stakeholders through knowledge translation. Conclusions The growing field of ABM presents opportunities to enhance research with young people with complex psychosocial needs by promoting meaningful exploration of experiences, engaging participants in research and strengthening knowledge translation. The involvement of young people in the interpretation of data and ensuring that knowledge translation occurs are key areas for future attention. Patient or Public Contribution The findings of this review will inform future research to improve the engagement of young people with complex psychosocial needs in research and promote power sharing between researchers and research participants.

“…Sixteen women participated in a body-mapping session and completed a follow-up telephone interview. Sample sizes of 6–12 participants have been recommended for body-mapping research to capture rich data relevant to research questions and a range of experiences (Macken et al, 2021). Body-mapping participants were aged 19–39, with a mean age of 25.5 years; 68.8% identified as heterosexual, 31.2% identified as bisexual, and most were partnered (68.8%).…”

Women's body shame and body dissatisfaction increase in the premenstrual phase of the cycle, associated with premenstrual distress. However, the meaning and consequences of premenstrual body dissatisfaction remain underexplored. The aim of this study was to explore how women who report premenstrual body dissatisfaction construct and experience their bodies, using qualitative arts-based methods. Four hundred and sixty women completed online open-ended survey questions and 16 women took part in body-mapping and an interview. Thematic analysis identified three major themes: construction of the premenstrual body as abject, manifested by positioning of the body and self as fat, leaking and dirty; self-policing and self-regulation through increased scrutinising and concealment of the premenstrual body; and resistance of cultural constructions of idealised femininity. These findings emphasise the need to acknowledge changes in body dissatisfaction across the menstrual cycle, and the implication for women's feelings about the self. Internalisation of negative constructions of the female body plays a role in women's experience of premenstrual change and distress. There is a need for further research to examine the role of body management behaviours in premenstrual body dissatisfaction and distress.

“…The methodological article by Macken and her colleagues [ 11 ] explores the utility of using body mapping, an arts-based method, in the drug and alcohol treatment sector in Sydney, Australia, to explore young people’s strengths and support networks. They found body mapping facilitated discussions on subject matter normally challenging for young people to talk about.…”

This editorial to the Special Issue on Qualitative Inquiry in Mental Health Research with Young People provides an overview of the importance of qualitative inquiry to the field of child and youth mental health. The issue highlights research using qualitative methods to depict the lived experiences and contribution of young people in areas that reflect important mental health concerns, ranging from anxiety, non-suicidal self-injury, positive resilience in young people in times of crisis, and drug and alcohol treatment.
