Abstract Title: Co-Designing for Graduate Student Mental Health: An Example of Participatory Research in PER
Abstract Type: Contributed Poster Presentation
Abstract: In this work we present an example of participatory research methodologies: a co-design session. The session took place in the context of a broader study of graduate student mental health, and provided critical insights that helped shape the study design. We motivate studying graduate student mental health and then describe our co-design process in detail. We discuss the particular activities performed and the motivations for each activity, and then we describe summative evaluation results. By describing this work, we highlight the value of meaningfully including members of a population under study in the design, analysis, and interpretation of research in physics education.
