New Zealand researchers reviewed global evidence on health and disability initiatives co-designed with Indigenous and other children and young people from priority social groups. They found a lack of published research, with only 15 studies meeting the researchers' criteria to be included for this review. Just three of these studies defined co-design and almost half inadequately reported ethics procedures. The team says there is an urgent need for formal research to assess how co-designed initiatives affect youth, and how they contribute to achieving equity.
