While interventions have been developed and tested to help youth who have become disconnected from work and school, there is a paucity of research on young people's intervention preferences. This study aims to understand young people's preferred intervention outcomes and approaches for youth who are out of work and school.
Thirty youth participated in virtual focus groups. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Youth want interventions and approaches that support them in (1) vocational readiness, (2) securing a job, and (3) mental health and well-being, while providing them with (4) high-contact, individualized, and integrated support.
Young people want interventions to be individualized and integrated, providing a high level of support for their educational and employment pursuits as well as their mental health and well-being. Incorporating youth's perspectives when designing interventions can increase intervention relevance and potentially service uptake, helping youth continue to pursue their educational and vocational goals.
虽然已经开发和测试了一些干预措施来帮助那些与工作和学校脱节的年轻人,但对于年轻人的干预偏好的研究却很少。本研究旨在了解年轻人对失业和辍学的年轻人的首选干预结果和方法。
30 名年轻人参加了虚拟焦点小组。使用主题分析对转录本进行了分析。
年轻人希望干预措施和方法能够支持他们(1)职业准备,(2)找到工作,以及(3)心理健康和幸福感,同时为他们提供(4)高接触、个性化和综合的支持。
年轻人希望干预措施是个性化和综合的,为他们的教育和就业追求以及他们的心理健康和幸福感提供高水平的支持。在设计干预措施时纳入年轻人的观点可以提高干预措施的相关性,并有可能增加服务的使用率,帮助年轻人继续追求他们的教育和职业目标。
