Integrating the expertise and perspectives of adolescents in the process of generating and translating research knowledge into practice is often missed, yet is essential for designing and implementing programs to promote adolescent health. This paper describes the use of the arts-based participatory Visual Voices method in translational research. Visual Voices involves systematic creative writing, drawing, and painting activities to yield culturally relevant information which is generated by and examined with adolescents. Qualitative data products include the created artistic products and transcripts from group discussions of the content developed and presented. Data are analyzed and compared across traditional (e.g., transcripts) and nontraditional (e.g., drawings and paintings) media. Findings are reviewed and interpreted with participants and shared publicly to stimulate community discussions and local policy and practice changes. Visual Voices is a novel method for involving adolescents in translational research though Integrated Knowledge Transfer (IKT), a process for bringing researchers and stakeholders together from the stage of idea generation to implementing evidence-based initiatives.
在将医学专业学术文献翻译为简体中文时，将青少年的专业知识和观点纳入到研究知识转化为实践的过程中常常被忽视，但这对于设计和实施促进青少年健康的项目至关重要。本文描述了使用基于艺术的参与式视觉声音方法进行转化研究。视觉声音涉及系统的创造性写作、绘画和绘画活动，以产生由青少年生成和检验的文化相关信息。定性数据产品包括创作的艺术作品和小组讨论内容的转录本。数据在传统（例如，转录本）和非传统（例如，绘画和绘画）媒体之间进行分析和比较。研究结果与参与者一起审查和解释，并公开分享以激发社区讨论和当地政策及实践的改变。视觉声音是一种通过综合知识转移（IKT）让青少年参与转化研究的新方法，这是一个将研究人员和利益相关者从创意阶段聚集到实施基于证据的举措的过程。
