With the proliferation of participatory approaches to promoting youth development such as Youth-Led Participatory Action Research (YPAR), it is more important than ever that researchers and practitioners understand how to create curriculum that will authentically engage youth of color. To that end, there are important lessons public health researchers can learn from the fields of community psychology, education, and social work, among others. We explore the benefits of a youth-led research and action curriculum steeped in critical pedagogy and critical race theory focused on public health. Youth of color (N = 35) between the ages of 13 and 34 years from five U.S. cities were hired as researchers. The majority (57%) of youth were 16 or 17 years, and the gender split was female (57%) and male (43%). Key informant interviews with adults and qualitative data analysis techniques were employed to examine program products and outcomes. Materials were deductively coded for content related to critical pedagogy and race theory (e.g., empowerment, capacity building and community engagement, skill development) as well as conceptualizations of health. Findings indicate young people (a) began to think more consciously about health, what it means to be healthy, and the factors that influence health; (b) developed critical skills; and (c) described feeling empowered. When given resources and space to lead, we found youth to be insightful, resourceful, compassionate, and deeply committed to improving the lives of their peers, family members, and communities.

关于让有色人种参与研究和行动的成人思考:以美国五个城市为例

随着诸如青年领导的参与式行动研究(YPAR)之类的促进青年发展的参与式方法的泛滥,研究人员和从业人员了解如何创建能够真正吸引有色人种的课程的重要性比以往任何时候都更为重要。为此,公共卫生研究人员可以从社区心理学,教育和社会工作等领域吸取重要经验教训。我们探索以青年为主导的研究和行动课程的收益,这些课程集中于针对公共卫生的批判教育学和批判种族理论。研究人员聘用了来自美国五个城市的13至34岁之间的有色人种(N = 35)。年轻人中的大多数(57%)为16或17岁,男女比例分别为女性(57%)和男性(43%)。对成年人进行的关键线人访谈和定性数据分析技术被用来检查计划的产品和结果。材料的推导编码与批判性教学法和种族理论(例如授权,能力建设和社区参与,技能开发)以及健康概念相关的内容。研究结果表明,年轻人(a)开始更加自觉地思考健康问题,健康的含义以及影响健康的因素;(b)发展关键技能;(c)描述感觉得到授权。当有足够的资源和领导空间时,我们发现青年人富有洞察力,足智多谋,富有同情心,并致力于改善同龄人,家庭成员和社区的生活。材料的推导编码与批判性教学法和种族理论(例如授权,能力建设和社区参与,技能开发)以及健康概念相关的内容。研究结果表明,年轻人(a)开始更加自觉地思考健康问题,健康的含义以及影响健康的因素;(b)发展关键技能;(c)描述感觉得到授权。当有足够的资源和领导空间时,我们发现青年人富有洞察力,足智多谋,富有同情心,并致力于改善同龄人,家庭成员和社区的生活。材料的推导编码与批判性教学法和种族理论(例如授权,能力建设和社区参与,技能开发)以及健康概念相关的内容。研究结果表明,年轻人(a)开始更加自觉地思考健康问题,健康的含义以及影响健康的因素;(b)发展关键技能;(c)描述感觉得到授权。当有足够的资源和领导空间时,我们发现青年人富有洞察力,足智多谋,富有同情心,并致力于改善同龄人,家庭成员和社区的生活。研究结果表明,年轻人(a)开始更加自觉地思考健康问题,健康的含义以及影响健康的因素;(b)发展关键技能;(c)描述感觉得到授权。当有足够的资源和领导空间时,我们发现青年人富有洞察力,足智多谋,富有同情心,并致力于改善同龄人,家庭成员和社区的生活。研究结果表明,年轻人(a)开始更加自觉地思考健康问题,健康的含义以及影响健康的因素;(b)发展关键技能;(c)描述感觉得到授权。当有足够的资源和领导空间时,我们发现青年人富有洞察力,足智多谋,富有同情心,并致力于改善同龄人,家庭成员和社区的生活。
