Inclusive research
Inclusive research involves engaging the people whom the research concerns in all stages of the research process.
Nothing about us, without us.

Practical guide 1: Involve children and families as research participants
Practical guide 2: Advice for research teams involving children and families

Practical guide 4: Reporting research results back to children and their families
Practical guide 5: Recruiting children as research participants in longitudinal studies
Practical guide 6: Evaluation of research results and implications
Practical guide 7: Dissemination and use of research findings
It is important to involve the people whom the research concerns in all stages of the research process – from formulating research questions to presenting the results.
For us who conduct research on children in need of special support, it is essential to make use of the knowledge and skills of the children themselves, their families, and the professionals they interact with when deciding what we research and how we go about it.
The guides and checklists have been adapted to Swedish conditions but originally come from Autism CRC in Australia.
On the right, you’ll find all parts presented step by step. If you prefer to have the entire guide with all checklists in one place, a downloadable file is available here.
Things to consider when planning a new research project
It is important to consider inclusion from the very beginning of the work process when planning a new research project. We have developed a document to support you as a doctoral student/researcher in planning how to include the people whom the research ultimately concerns at various levels of the research process.
