Youth are infrequently included in planning the health promotion projects designed to benefit them as many of the factors infringing upon youth's health and well-being also limit their engagement in community-based public health promotion projects. This article explores youth engagement in 13 coalitions implementing structural changes meant to reduce HIV transmission among adolescents. There was wide variation of youth membership and involvement across coalitions. Using analytic induction, the authors show that youth engagement was associated with the successful completion of structural change efforts. The authors also describe how youth engagement indirectly facilitated coalitions' success. The authors suggest that youth engagement in planning and conducting structural interventions is itself a valuable structural change.
在规划旨在使年轻人受益的健康促进项目时，很少有年轻人参与其中，因为许多影响年轻人健康和福祉的因素也限制了他们参与社区公共卫生促进项目。本文探讨了13个联盟中年轻人的参与情况，这些联盟正在实施旨在减少青少年中艾滋病毒传播的结构性变革。各联盟之间年轻人的成员身份和参与程度差异很大。通过分析归纳，作者表明年轻人的参与与结构性变革努力的成功完成相关。作者还描述了年轻人的参与如何间接促进联盟的成功。作者建议，年轻人参与规划和实施结构性干预本身就是一项有价值的结构性变革。
