Encouraging youth voice, visibility, and active participation in adolescent-related research is strongly advocated in the literature. In this article, we describe how participatory approaches informed by arts-based methods (e.g., reflective writing, dramatization) were used with adolescents to enhance the research process in an exploratory study designed to develop and evaluate prevention resources for sexual risk-taking behaviors.Youth aged 15 to 17 years participated in iterative focus groups conducted over a 1-year period in school settings in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Descriptions of our experiences, strategies, and insights provide evidence for guiding practice to optimize adolescent participation in research.
鼓励青年发表意见、提高能见度并积极参与与青少年相关的研究,这在文献中得到大力提倡。本文介绍了如何在一项旨在开发和评估预防性行为风险资源的探索性研究中,采用基于艺术的方法(例如,反思性写作、戏剧化)为青少年提供参与机会,从而增强研究过程。在加拿大爱德华王子岛的学校环境中,15 至 17 岁的青少年参与了为期一年的迭代焦点小组。我们对经验、策略和见解的描述为指导实践提供了证据,以优化青少年在研究中的参与度。
