Summary: The participation of children with disabilities in qualitative health research is limited, with studies often being conducted on them rather than with or by them. This exclusion of children with disabilities from the design and implementation of health research highlights the need for health researchers to prioritize their inclusion and collaborate with experts in disability and childhood studies. A range of inclusive and non-ableist methods should be employed to enable meaningful participation and diverse expression.

Summary: Community-centric approaches are important for enhancing diversity and ethicality in biomedical research. Engaging communities as partners and prioritizing community health needs can make research more meaningful and respectful. Lack of consultation can alienate the very communities that these efforts aim to engage. Capacity development and changes to research processes can support collaborative partnerships and community oversight.

Summary: With increased attention on autism, there is a need for autistic individuals to be involved in all conversations about autism. However, stigma and biased research methods still prevail, which affects the validity and harm caused by such research. This perspectives piece highlights the benefits of participatory research practices and provides methods and insights for conducting co-interviews with autistic research partners, aiming to reduce the stigma surrounding autism in research spaces.

Summary: Much research on social and emotional learning (SEL) focuses on early childhood and elementary settings, leaving a gap in understanding its effectiveness for adolescents. Many SEL programs for adolescents have been ineffective or even slightly harmful. Adherence to scripted SEL curricula appears inauthentic and fails to address the critical issues that matter to young people. Effective SEL for adolescents requires adaptation and responsiveness to their identities, interests, and motivations. Youth participatory action research (YPAR) offers a promising approach to adolescent social and emotional development.

Summary: Transdisciplinary research (TDR) is beneficial for addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainability in social-ecological systems. This article aims to facilitate investment decisions in TDR by defining TDR, comparing it with other research modes, identifying suitable research problems and contexts for TDR, and exploring the intensity of contextual features to determine the level of TDR in a research project.

Summary: This manuscript discusses the promise and challenges of youth participatory action research (YPAR), highlighting the ethical issues and power dynamics in research partnerships between youth and adults. It emphasizes the conflicts between YPAR values and dominant research approaches, as well as the barriers posed by adultism, capitalism, and white supremacy culture in academia to meaningful youth participation. The authors suggest ways for participatory scholars to disrupt existing systems and call for paradigm shifts in academia to elevate youth voices and promote equity.

Summary: This review examines the methods and approaches used in participatory research with children and adolescents for the development of health resources and interventions. The commonly reported participatory approaches include community-based participatory research, codesign, participatory design, coproduction, and user-centred design. It was found that more involvement of co-researchers is needed in the later stages of participatory approaches.

Summary: Craniofacial deformities (CFDs) can occur as a result of oncological resection, trauma, or congenital disorders. Trauma, which varies in rates across countries, is a leading cause of death globally. CFDs lead to non-healing composite tissue wounds as they deteriorate in soft or hard tissues. Gum disease is responsible for approximately one-third of oral diseases. The complex anatomical structures and tissue-specific requirements in the craniofacial region pose numerous challenges for CFD treatments. Various treatment methods, including drugs, regenerative medicine, surgery, and tissue engineering, are available for CFDs.

Summary: This study explored the spatial differences in paediatric hospital admissions for dental extractions in relation to key independent variables, revealing significant regional clusters across England. Some areas showed positive associations between dental caries severity and hospital admissions, while others showed negative associations with deprivation scores. However, only a small sample of associations between independent variables and admission numbers was statistically significant. This analysis provides insights into how changes in independent variables may impact hospital admissions in each local authority, but should be considered within the limitations of the dataset used.

Summary: This study develops an adolescent value set for a child-centred dental caries-specific measure of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) based upon CARIES-QC. The study uses a new approach to value child health by eliciting adolescent preferences and anchoring these onto the QALY scale using ordinal adult preferences. The results can be used to evaluate the economic benefits of interventions to improve children's oral health.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the impact of clinical, individual, and environmental factors on children's oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following dental caries management under general anaesthetic (GA). The results showed that treatment type and number of extractions may significantly impact on child OHRQoL and HRQoL following treatment.

Summary: Although child oral health has improved over recent decades, first permanent molars (FPMs) are still prone to early caries and hypomineralisation. Treating and restoring hypomineralised FPMs poses challenges due to their impact on a child's quality of life and the lack of high-quality evidence for treatment options. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment planning are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes.

Summary: This international multicentre study aims to determine the association between molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and other developmental anomalies in different populations. A total of 584 children with MIH and 584 children without MIH will be recruited for clinical and radiographic examinations to assess the presence and severity of MIH and other dental anomalies. Statistical analysis will be performed to determine the differences in dental anomaly prevalence between the MIH and non-MIH group and the association between dental anomalies and patient characteristics.

Summary: This study aims to explore the factors affecting treatment choices for caries management in young children within primary dental care, including the use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF). The research found that both individual and system-level factors influence treatment decisions for early childhood caries. However, issues related to remuneration and governance pose specific barriers to the adoption of SDF in primary dental care.

Summary: A short version of the Children's Experiences of Dental Anxiety Measure (CEDAM), named CEDAM-8, was developed with good psychometric properties, significant correlation with the original measure, sensitivity to change, and minimal floor and ceiling effects. This short form is a useful tool for clinicians to quickly assess and understand children's experiences of dental anxiety.

Summary: The study suggests that children and young people aged 11-16 years prefer best-worst scaling (BWS) tasks over discrete choice experiments (DCE) and demonstrate a better understanding of them. There is no clear relationship between the level of understanding and age, and children feel they can comfortably manage 8 to 10 BWS tasks.
