Summary
In this blog, peer researchers Saffron, Bianca and Alysha describe their involvement in a study about violence and mental health funded by the UKRI Violence, Abuse and Mental Health Network. The study looked at how adolescents’ experiences of violence and neighbourhood disorder—such as vandalism and muggings—affects their mental health as they move into adulthood. As peer researchers, they helped analyse data and used their lived experience to interpret the findings and co-author an academic research paper. They highlight the value of involving people with relevant lived experience in research studies.
