Description: Participatory action research to involve members of a sibling group in online discussions about how they would like to be involved in future research. The research process was co-designed using a participatory action research method to involve members of a sibling group in the co-design of online discussions to explore future genomic research with members of the group.

Impact: language to describe the recruitment to the co-design process was made more comprehensible, helping people understand it was distinct from participating in the research project
learning item

Involving potential participants in co-defining language used to describe the sibling group helped ensure that language was acceptable and appropriate.


learning item

The co-design process took longer than expected owing to ethical ‘grey areas’ with no clear instruction on whether ethics approval was required to involve people in co-design. As a result an ethics application was made and subsequent feedback from the co-design process was integrated using modifications to the ethics application.


learning item

The entire study team agreed that limitations in the ethics process affected the extent of how the sibling group could be involved in the study. Internationally, confusion still surrounds what ethical approval is required before involving potential participants in co-designing research. On the advice of the La Trobe University Human Research Ethics Committee, the study team did not approach potential participants about co-designing the study until after ethics approval had been granted, with feedback from participants being incorporated by a number of subsequent modifications to the original ethics application. As a result of the complex process of modifications, the timeline for feedback was shorter than the study team had anticipated, although the process did provide useful feedback.


learning item

Ambiguous policies for the ethical involvement of people in co-designing research can hamper the degree of control potential participants have in research and further clarity from ethics committees will enhance power sharing at this crucial stage of research.
