This paper presents a scoping review of the literature on child participatory research in Australia published in academic journals between 2000 and 2018. The review focused on research designed to engage with children and young people in the development, implementation and evaluation of services. A total of 207 papers were identified and distributed across eight service sectors: child protection and family law, community, disability, education, health, housing and homelessness, juvenile justice and mental health. The papers were reviewed against Shier’s participation matrix, demonstrating that almost all of the identified papers included children only as participants who contributed data to adult researchers. Only a small number of papers involved children and young people in the other phases of research, such as designing research questions, analysis and dissemination. There is a clear interest in the engagement of children and young people in service design and decision-making in Australia. This paper is intended to serve as a catalyst for discussion on where there are gaps and where further Australian research is needed.

沉默在哪里？澳大利亚服务系统背景下儿童参与性研究文献的范围审查

本文对 2000 年至 2018 年间发表在学术期刊上的澳大利亚儿童参与性研究文献进行了范围界定。该评论侧重于旨在让儿童和青少年参与服务的开发、实施和评估的研究。共有 207 篇论文被确定并分发到八个服务部门：儿童保护和家庭法、社区、残疾、教育、健康、住房和无家可归者、少年司法和心理健康。这些论文根据 Shier 的参与矩阵进行了审查，表明几乎所有已确定的论文都仅将儿童作为参与者，他们为成年研究人员提供了数据。只有少数论文涉及其他研究阶段的儿童和青少年，例如设计研究问题，分析和传播。澳大利亚对儿童和青少年参与服务设计和决策有着明显的兴趣。本文旨在作为讨论存在差距以及澳大利亚需要进一步研究的地方的催化剂。
