Towards Meaningful Consumer and Community Involvement in Health Research
BACKGROUND: Consumer and community involvement (CCI) in health research is recognised as an essential component of ethical, effective and relevant research practice. While the recommended principles that enable high-quality CCI are well established, consistent implementation remains a challenge. OBJECTIVE: To inform consumer involvement strategies and practices, this study explored the experiences of researchers and consumers involved in CCI in r…
From Documents to Digital
INTRODUCTION: Hospital nutrition care is usually supported by offering written, paper-based information to patients and carers. However, there is a need for evidence-based online information, such as videos, to support education. We aimed to co-design nutrition information videos for current and recently discharged hospital patients and share our process for clinicians and researchers undertaking similar initiatives. METHODS: The videos were crea…
Reclaiming Energy Transitions in Canada
Commitments to clean energy transitions have accelerated as countries face growing climate-induced impacts. Simultaneously, countries, alongside international organizations, have increasingly recognized Indigenous Peoples’ contributions to energy transitions. Nonetheless, Indigenous Peoples have expressed deep concern about the colonial entanglements of current energy transition discourse and policy. Canada is particularly reckoning with net-zero…
Facing power
Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) is oftentimes cited as a method guided by social justice principles to uplift youth voice and pursue youth priorities in research. However, to uphold these principles, YPAR researchers must address how youth and adults alike negotiate power differentials to be equal partners in research and scholarship. We explore YPAR power sharing through a reflexive thematic analysis of in-depth, semi-structured inter…
‘Just because we're younger doesn't mean our opinions should be any less valued’
INTRODUCTION: Recognition of the importance of youth engagement in youth mental health and/or addiction (MHA) service design and delivery is increasing. Youth Advisory Councils embedded in MHA organizations represent one strategy that allows youth to be involved in MHA at the individual, organization and systemic levels. This level of involvement can facilitate positive outcomes for both the youth and the organization. As these councils become mo…
Youth engagement to achieve health equity
Youth engagement in institutional decision‐making is necessary to ensure policy and practice is responsive and relevant to youth and community needs. In particular, it is critical to engage the voices and experiences of youth of Color who have historically been marginalized by healthcare organizations. The present study used multiple methods to examine youth and adult perspectives on the facilitators and barriers to implementing a citywide youth …
Covid‐19 shines a light on health inequities in communities of color
This manuscript reports on a youth‐driven health assessment engaging youth of color in identifying community health priorities during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Photovoice, a participatory visual ethnographic health assessment strategy, was used to explore the question: What does health or healthiness mean to you and/or your community? Youth captured images that represented their priorities. The photos were discussed using …
How to Be an Antiracist
This study is part of a larger Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) project engaging youth of color (YOC; aged 16–24 years) in a planning a multilevel health promotion campaign for a large safety net hospital. Analyses focus on youths’ conceptualizations of antiracism, and their recommendations on how to facilitate an intentionally antiracist YPAR. We answer the following questions: (a) How do YOC engaged in a YPAR project conceptualize and…
