Through leveraging the unique perspectives and experiences of consumers, researchers can improve health outcomes and ensure that their research benefits those it aims to help. Read our recent consumer case studies: ow.ly/C7Hg50Wnp1z@Flinders@Sydney_Uni
There's growing evidence that young people in the U.S. are on a path to dying earlier than their parents' generation, with concerns that young Australians could be heading in the same direction. #9Newsnine.social/Xk1
💡There’s huge potential for youth-centred, health-promoting MOOCs, but we need better design and meaningful youth involvement.
Thanks for leading Putu Novi Arfirsta Dharmayani w/ Jennifer Dam, Josephine Chau, Sara Wardak, Katrina Champion, Seema Mihrshahi, @DrStephaniePart
🧠 We analysed 23 studies and found:
- Only 6 focused on health topics
- Most MOOCs are not designed with adolescents in mind
- Co-design, visual content, and interactive formats matter
- Evaluation is often limited to self-reported surveys
📢 New publication just out from our Health Hive Project!
This review provides foundational research as we build our Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) for young people. We explored how adolescents engage w/ open online courses in health and education.
