Introduction
In this paper we present our experiences of conducting focus groups with young people as part of a participatory approach to research design and participant recruitment.
The research is a prospective, 10-year, qualitative, longitudinal project investigating young people’s daily lives, relationships, and identities, and the ways these change over time. It adopts a multi-method approach in which each participant has a choice about which methods to be involved with.
