Fostering Social Media Literacy through a Participatory Mixed-Methods Approach: Discussion of Workshop Findings

Citizen involvement in research on technological innovations for health, care or well-being: a scoping review

“…Most studies were conducted in the United States (N=17) [44, 46–48, 52, 54, 71, 72, 76, 89, 94, 98, 100, 104, 107, 119, 123], followed by Canada (N=14) [42, 43, 45, 59, 65, 69, 70, 81, 86–88, 92, 95, 105], the United Kingdom (N=12) [51, 56, 57, 67, 80, 90, 96, 102, 103, 111–113], Denmark (N=6) [77, 78, 85, 106, 114, 120], and Australia (N=6) [83, 91, 108, 110, 116, 118]. Five studies were conducted in multiple countries [53, 97, 99, 109, 121], three studies were conducted in Sweden [Erlingdottir et al 2019; Gardsten 2017; Wikman et al 2018], and Norway [74, 75, 115], and two in Austria [61, 66], the Netherlands [34, 68], and Ireland [79, 117]. One study was conducted in Belgium [49], India [50], Italy [58], Brazil [62], Spain [64], Germany [73], Korea [82], France [84], Peru [93], and South Africa [101].…”

“…One of the 83 records was based on a quantitative research design, all other included record had a research design based on qualitative methodologies. Participatory design was most prominent (N=24) [42, 44, 45, 50, 57, 61, 63, 66, 69, 74, 75, 77, 78, 80, 82, 83, 85, 91, 100, 104, 106, 117, 119, 123], followed by co-design (N=16) [55, 64, 65, 72, 76, 81, 86, 88, 96, 99, 101, 103, 105, 110, 113, 121]. Other often used terms were community based participatory research (N=9) [48, 52–54, 56, 70, 71, 93, 94], co-creation (N=8) [43, 46, 58, 62, 73, 97, 107, 120], public and patient involvement (N=7) [67, 79, 90, 102, 109, 111, 114], participatory action research (N=5) [59, 68, 108, 112, 122], and user centered design (N=4) [34, 89, 92, 115].…”

“…For example, researchers might have preconceived theoretical knowledge about the topic of interest and probably about the research population, but this does not always align with the views of the coresearchers. Yarosh and Schueller [2017] and Gobl et al [2019] both underline that it is important that the researchers learned how to engage and learn from the mental models and views of their coresearchers [66,123]. Being sensitive to the context and the co-researcher often means that pre-planned methods and approaches have to be adapted on the fly to create a comfortable and stimulating environment for citizens to actively engage in research [61,78].…”

“…For each record table 3 shows the year of publication, country in which the study was performed, terminology used for the research design, topic of health, care or well-being, technological innovation, involved citizens, and the level of involvement during the different research phases. [74,75,115], and two in Austria [61,66], the Netherlands [34,68], and Ireland [79,117]. One study was conducted in Belgium [49], India [50], Italy [58], Brazil [62], Spain [64], Germany [73], Korea [82], France [84], Peru [93], and South Africa [101].…”

Scrolling and the In‐Between Spaces of Boredom: Marginalized Youths on the Periphery of Vienna

“…Ahmed also confirmed Toni's views. During the project, it became apparent that the participants in various workshops held very different views on the business models and techniques used in social media, which ranged from informed to not very knowledgeable, and from rather accepting to critical (Göbl et al 2019). Schools with fewer resources or with a stronger focus on vocational training rarely included social-media training.…”
