Actively engaging adolescents in meaningful program evaluation is a topic of growing interest. One possibility for such engagement is the use of photographs as part of visual evaluation, so that youth can directly engage with the research process. In this Method Note, we describe the development and implementation of a participatory, photo-based evaluation method for youth health promotion/prevention programs. Youth in this study were participants in a gender-transformative healthy relationships program for boys. We present literature supporting the use of photographs as a visual research method and for involving youth as active participants in evaluation, and explore the feasibility, utility, and acceptability of this innovative application of existing methods based on researcher experience and youth feedback. We conclude with implications for photo-based evaluation of health promotion/prevention programs, highlighting the promise of this method for promoting critical youth engagement in evaluation and the creation of meaningful knowledge translation tools.

积极让青少年参与有意义的计划评估是一个越来越引起人们关注的话题。这种参与的一种可能性是将照片用作视觉评估的一部分，以便青年可以直接参与研究过程。在本方法说明中，我们描述了针对青少年健康促进/预防计划的基于照片的参与式评估方法的开发和实施。这项研究中的青年参加了针对男孩的性别转变健康关系计划。我们提供的文献支持将照片用作一种视觉研究方法，并让青年作为评价的积极参与者，并根据研究者的经验和青年反馈，探索这种创新性应用现有方法的可行性，实用性和可接受性。
