After the meeting, we compiled the top-ranked questions (as rated by any of the groups) into a list of 34 potential priorities. We sent this out as an online survey and from November 2021 to February 2022 received 130 responses. These included 52 young people, 42 parents/carers, 32 education professionals, 21 researchers, and 11 mental health professionals (some belonged to more than one group). Everyone could rank up to five questions they personally felt were most important.
We then took the five questions with the most votes as our top 5 research priorities, which we are very excited to share with you now!
