癌症对儿童、青少年和年轻人的影响可能是深远的。已经进行了研究，以探索对儿童，青少年和年轻人患有癌症的影响，但很少有人知道研究人员如何“最好”地与这个群体接触，以探索他们的经验。这份审查文件概述了在对儿童、青少年和年轻人进行研究时采用的数据收集方法的效用。使用检索词“年轻人”、“年轻成年人"、"青少年”和“数据收集方法”对相关数据库进行了系统综述。访问了标题和摘要中认为合格的论文全文，并在研究团队内部讨论后纳入了30篇论文。由于确定的论文范围的异质性，结果部分包括以下数据收集方法。其中三篇论文概述了这一人群使用的数据收集方法，其余27篇论文涵盖了以下数据收集方法：数字技术;基于艺术的研究;比较“纸笔”研究与基于网络的技术的使用，游戏的使用;特定通信工具的使用;问卷和访谈;焦点小组和电话访谈/问卷。所包括的数据收集方法的范围内的优势和局限性进行了讨论，借鉴等问题的适当性，特定的方法，为特定的年龄组，或最适当的方法时，采用探索一个特别敏感的主题领域。有许多数据收集方法用于对儿童，青少年和年轻人进行研究。本综述总结了目前可用的证据，并概述了数据收集方法的优势和局限性。
The impact of cancer upon children, teenagers and young people can be profound. Research has been undertaken to explore the impacts upon children, teenagers and young people with cancer, but little is known about how researchers can ‘best’ engage with this group to explore their experiences. This review paper provides an overview of the utility of data collection methods employed when undertaking research with children, teenagers and young people. A systematic review of relevant databases was undertaken utilising the search terms ‘young people’, ‘young adult’, ‘adolescent’ and ‘data collection methods’. The full-text of the papers that were deemed eligible from the title and abstract were accessed and following discussion within the research team, thirty papers were included. Due to the heterogeneity in terms of the scope of the papers identified the following data collections methods were included in the results section. Three of the papers identified provided an overview of data collection methods utilised with this population and the remaining twenty seven papers covered the following data collection methods: Digital technologies; art based research; comparing the use of ‘paper and pencil’ research with web-based technologies, the use of games; the use of a specific communication tool; questionnaires and interviews; focus groups and telephone interviews/questionnaires. The strengths and limitations of the range of data collection methods included are discussed drawing upon such issues as of the appropriateness of particular methods for particular age groups, or the most appropriate method to employ when exploring a particularly sensitive topic area. There are a number of data collection methods utilised to undertaken research with children, teenagers and young adults. This review provides a summary of the current available evidence and an overview of the strengths and limitations of data collection methods employed.
