We reflect on how participation was enacted with Nursing Students (NS) throughout the study and examine research activities that either promoted or hindered meaningful participation. We propose social media as an opportunity to foster participation in young adults.enUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
