WHAT IS KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT?: Young people's mental health is a concern to people around the world. Good emotional health promotes mental health and protects against mental illness, but we need to know more about how to help young people look after their emotional health. We are learning that research is better if the public are involved in it, including children and young people. Therefore, we need to listen carefully to what young people have to say. In this paper, we describe some research that involved young people from start to finish. We were asking what kind of emotional health support would be useful to them. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: We developed a useful way to involve young people in research so their voice can be heard. Young people like to use the Internet to find emotional health support and information, but need to know which web sites they can trust. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: Our method of bringing young people together to tell us their views was successful. It is important to explore ways to help young people judge the quality of emotional health web sites.
Introduction Youth mental health is a global concern. Emotional health promotes mental health and protects against mental illness. Youth value self-care for emotional health, but we need better understanding of how to help them look after their emotional health. Participatory research is relevant, since meaningful engagement with youth via participatory research enhances the validity and relevance of research findings and supports young people's rights to involvement in decisions that concern them. Aim We aimed to develop a participatory approach for involving youth in research about their emotional health support preferences. Method Our team included a young expert-by-experience. We developed a qualitative, participatory research design. Eleven youth (16-18 years) participated in focus groups, followed immediately by a nominal group exercise in which they analysed the data, thus enhancing methodological rigour. Results This process highlighted youth perspectives on self-care strategies for emotional health. Discussion and implications for practice Our simple participatory research approach generated trustworthy and credible findings, which accurately reflect youth perspectives and are consistent with the literature, endorsing our method. Young people said that they want reassurances of quality and safety when accessing digital mental health resources. These findings can inform future development of youth-oriented digital mental health resources.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些？年轻人的心理健康是全世界人们关注的问题。良好的情绪健康促进心理健康并预防精神疾病，但我们需要更多地了解如何帮助年轻人照顾自己的情绪健康。我们逐渐认识到，如果公众参与其中，包括儿童和年轻人，研究会更有成效。因此，我们需要认真倾听年轻人的心声。在本文中，我们描述了一项从头到尾都有年轻人参与的研究。我们询问哪种情绪健康支持对他们有用。
我们开发了一种让年轻人参与研究的有效方法，以便能够听到他们的声音。年轻人喜欢通过互联网寻找情绪健康支持和信息，但需要知道哪些网站值得信任。
我们将年轻人聚集在一起以了解他们观点的方法很成功。探索帮助年轻人判断情绪健康网站质量的方法很重要。
引言 青少年心理健康是全球关注的问题。情绪健康促进心理健康并预防精神疾病。青少年重视情绪健康的自我护理，但我们需要更好地理解如何帮助他们照顾自己的情绪健康。参与式研究具有相关性，因为通过参与式研究与青少年进行有意义的互动可以提高研究结果的有效性和相关性，并支持年轻人参与与其相关决策的权利。目的 我们旨在开发一种参与式方法，让青少年参与关于他们情绪健康支持偏好的研究。方法 我们的团队包括一位有经验的年轻专家。我们制定了定性的参与式研究设计。11名青少年（16 - 18岁）参加了焦点小组，随后立即进行了名义小组练习，在练习中他们分析数据，从而提高了方法的严谨性。结果 这个过程突出了青少年对情绪健康自我护理策略的看法。讨论与对实践的启示 我们简单的参与式研究方法产生了可靠且可信的结果，这些结果准确反映了青少年的观点并且与文献一致，认可了我们的方法。年轻人表示，他们在获取数字心理健康资源时希望得到质量和安全方面的保证。这些发现可为未来面向青少年的数字心理健康资源的开发提供参考。
