It describes the PAR methodology and the co-researcher involvement in the different study components. It also includes the reflections of our co-researchers (the PAR group members) and of ourselves as university researchers about the benefits and difficulties of the PAR approach. This article will add to the scarce literature on using PAR with young people with disabilities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, especially war and conflict zones similar to the Palestinian setting. Points of interest: This article focuses on describing an unconventional approach to researching disability experiences that enables young people with disabilities to actively participate in the research as co-researchers and prioritizes that their voices are being heard. Using PAR, co-researchers (study participants) with disabilities can share their disability experiences in a respectful and safe space, learn about themselves and their abilities, and gain research-related and life skills. This study advocates for the inclusion of young people with disabilities as co-researchers, and has shown that they were essential collaborators in the research. This might have a more significant influence on policymakers in responding to their needs. Overall, this article will add to the literature on using the PAR approach with young people with disabilities in war-like conditions similar to the Palestinian setting and beyond. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
