AB - Creative participation may allow children involved in health research to better describe their experience. Using participatory methods, we co-produced a short film with children to express their experiences of the COVID-19 lockdowns and as participants in health research conducted around the pandemic. Thirteen children (10–11 years) from an area of deprivation in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, worked with theatre practitioners to develop their spoken and written reflections and memories into a script. The subsequent short film (https://tinyurl.com/YoungSciComms) was perceived by classmates as an accurate and entertaining representation of their experiences. Film-making with children can facilitate effective peer-led communication in public health research.
