Children and young people's contributions to public involvement and engagement activities in health-related research: A scoping review.

<h4>Background</h4>There has been an increasing interest in how children and young people can be involved in patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in health research. However, relatively little robust evidence exists about which children and young people are reported as be...
