This article discusses the use of codesign, design thinking (DT), and design jams in collaboration with interdisciplinary scholars, service providers, and community-based stakeholders as an approach to social work intervention development-specifically, to tackle health inequities and timely knowledge translation (KT). An application of these methods to the problem of sexual health disparities and lack of access to inclusive sexual health education in school-based settings for LGBTQ+ youth is discussed. LGBTQ+ Youth HeLP (Health Literacy Project) is a holistic online sexual health resource providing evidence-based information to LGBTQ+ youth in an accessible and age-appropriate format. This article considers potential opportunities and obstacles for utilizing DT to develop responsive solutions to health inequities and health-related KT learned from the project. Codesign offers effective options for generating collaborations that may increase cross-stakeholder perspective taking in group settings and produce high-quality outputs with increased likelihood of uptake.
本文讨论了协同跨学科学者、服务提供者和社区利益相关者，使用联合设计、设计思维 (DT) 和设计研讨会的方法，作为社会工作干预措施开发的一种方法——特别是为了解决健康不平等问题和及时进行知识转化 (KT)。本文还讨论了将这些方法应用于性健康差距问题以及在学校环境中为 LGBTQ+ 青年提供包容性性健康教育方面的不足之处。LGBTQ+ Youth HeLP（健康素养计划）是一个综合性的在线性健康资源，以可访问和适合年龄的格式为 LGBTQ+ 青年提供基于证据的信息。本文考虑了利用 DT 开发响应式解决方案以解决健康不平等问题和从该项目中获得的与健康相关的 KT 的潜在机会和障碍。联合设计为生成协作关系提供了有效的选择，这可能会增加群体环境中跨利益相关者的观点，并产生高质量的输出，从而提高接受度。
