“…This kind of active participation is also an internationally protected right [ 132 ]. Consequently, attending to children’s voice, agency and participation should remain central to the ways that models of family health are shaped [ 133 , 134 ].…”

“…The role of the child as an active agent—rather than a passive recipient—of their health journey was highlighted as an important gap in many of the identified models. Future research would do well to pay attention to the capacity of children within families to be active agents in shaping their own lives and the lives of their family members [ 134 ]. Not only is the active participation of children an internationally protected right, it is a powerful vehicle for supporting the emergent competencies of young people in terms of managing their own health experiences and trajectories.…”

Family as a health promotion setting: A scoping review of conceptual models of the health-promoting family

2021

Background The family is a key setting for health promotion. Contemporary health promoting family models can establish scaffolds for shaping health behaviors and can be useful tools for education and health promotion. Objectives The objective of this scoping review is to provide details as to how conceptual and theoretical models of the health promoting potential of the family are being used in health promotion contexts. Design Guided by PRISMA ScR guidelines, we used a three-step search strategy to find relevant papers. This included key-word searching electronic databases (Medline, PSycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL), searching the reference lists of included studies, and intentionally searching for grey literature (in textbooks, dissertations, thesis manuscripts and reports.) Results After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, the overall search generated 113 included manuscripts/chapters with 118 unique models. Through our analysis of these models, three main themes were apparent: 1) ecological factors are central components to most models or conceptual frameworks; 2) models were attentive to cultural and other diversities, allowing room for a wide range of differences across family types, and for different and ever-expanding social norms and roles; and 3) the role of the child as a passive recipient of their health journey rather than as an active agent in promoting their own family health was highlighted as an important gap in many of the identified models. Conclusions This review contributes a synthesis of contemporary literature in this area and supports the priority of ecological frameworks and diversity of family contexts. It encourages researchers, practitioners and family stakeholders to recognize the value of the child as an active agent in shaping the health promoting potential of their family context.

“…Young people have been notably absent from social psychological analyses of place to date. However, we argue there is considerable need – and value – in interrogating the range of concerns and experiences inherent in negotiating the manifest problems of being a young person in public, and how these competing tensions are managed in everyday interaction and in everyday place use (see also Gray & Manning, 2014 ; Hadfield‐Hall & Christensen, 2021 ; Lim & Barton, 2010 ; Valentine, 2019 ). Our starting point is the growing body of work that takes a discursive approach to people–place relations (e.g.…”

“…One clear area of synergy between these two literatures is in relation to young people's everyday spatial politics. Children's geographers have long called for a conceptual broadening of the definition of children's politics, to include children practising politics in their everyday lives, when negotiating positions, defending identities and using and challenging positions and identities offered to them by adults and peers (Christensen et al, 2017 ; Hadfield‐Hill & Christensen, 2021 ; Kallio & Häkli, 2011a ; 2011b ; Pyyry & Tani, 2016 ; Philo & Smith, 2003 ; Skelton, 2010 ). Likewise, discursive social psychologists have begun to develop the notion of ‘locational citizenship’ (e.g.…”

Building on the growing discursive approach to peopleplace relations, we examine how young people negotiate people-place tensions and relations, and how they establish their everyday sense of place in contemporary public spaces.Facilitated by the use of Collaborative Spatial Mapping, analysis of focus group data from 51 young people focuses on three aspects of participants' talk about the places that make up their everyday lives: appropriation of microgeographical spaces, the construction of autobiographical insideness and the mobilization of shared socio-spatial histories. Our analysis illustrates young people's responses to a broader problematic of being 'troublesome' in public spaces, demonstrating how they construct a deep-rooted attachment to, and sense of themselves as located members within, such spaces. We argue that place appropriation and autobiographical insideness are important concepts for understanding the practice of citizenship by young people, and how such practice is embedded in wider political processes of spatial conflict and exclusion.

“…The drive to include the perspectives of children and young people has been embraced by researchers globally, across disciplines, including health (Birch et al, 2007;Lees et al, 2017), social work (Ellis, 2018;Hickle, 2020;Moore et al, 2018;Warrington et al, 2016), youth justice (Phoenix & Kelly, 2013;Sharpe, 2012;Smithson et al, 2021), politics (Hadfield-Hill & Christensen, 2021) and education (Buchanan et al, 2022;Forde et al, 2018;Mayall, 2002). While these examples evidence the commitment of researchers to capture and share the views and experiences of children, it is also important to acknowledge the positionality of researchers within the wider structure of knowledge.…”

Despite representing a vast and global concern, the narratives of children who experience child sexual exploitation (CSE) and access associated services are marginalised within research. As an outcome, relatively little is known about how children cope with the impact and consequences of their experiences. This paper draws together methodological insights from researchers reflecting upon three distinct pieces of qualitative fieldwork conducted with children and young people considered ‘vulnerable’ to, and ‘at risk of’, CSE. In doing so, we seek to recognise the challenges encountered when conducting research with vulnerable populations and explore the ‘blurry boundaries’ that researchers tread in order to balance competing power dynamics. This paper will discuss potential safeguarding concerns that arise when conducting sensitive research and will share our experiences of supporting young people to take part in research around child sexual exploitation. We will reflect upon the research process to highlight some of the strategies adopted to enable young people to engage in data collection safely. We consider the dynamic ethical practices that take place in the moment of research encounters, alongside the framework of procedural ethics, to conclude that both are fundamental to enable meaningful participation in research.
