Tisdall et al. (childhood studies and social policy, education studies, and community health sciences, U. of Edinburgh, UK) present options for conducting research with children, drawn from teaching they carried out in childhood studies at the U. of Edinburgh through an online course on "Listening to Children: Research and Consultation with Children and Young People." They discuss ethics, data collection and analysis, involving children, including peer research, and dissemination, and present case studies of research, evaluation, and consultation projects from researchers, teams, and graduate students across a range of disciplines, as well as activities and tips. A basic knowledge of social research terms, design, and methods is assumed; however, they do provide a glossary.
