4/5 Within the #WISHStudy, three Youth Advisory Group meetings were held successfully, pupils enjoyed the meetings, felt that their feedback was valued and thought that the meetings were a good way to get young people involved in #research 👏
5/5 The views of adolescent girls were central to the development of the #WISHStudy and when we consider the specific issues that the Youth Advisory Group advised on, there was evidence of a positive impact of #PPI 🎉
