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 define antiracism? and (b) How do youth and adult allies conceptualize an antiracist YPAR project and what strategies do they use and/or recommend to this end? We employed instrumental case study methods and thematic analyses to code project data sources. Findings indicate that youths’ definitions of antiracism include elevating marginalized voices, actively resisting racism, incorporating an intersectional approach, and examining privilege, power, and positionality. YPAR members recommended strategies for creating an antiracist YPAR including prioritizing people of color in YPAR processes, creating space to acknowledge and process positionality and racialized dynamics, and engaging in ongoing education and dialogue. Moreover, both youth members and adult allies recognized that antiracist YPAR projects require time and resources to remain consistently antiracist, and such a goal can only be accomplished through a reiterative and reflexive process.

本研究是更大的青年参与行动研究 (YPAR) 项目的一部分，该项目让有色人种青年（YOC；16-24 岁）参与为一家大型安全网医院规划多层次的健康促进活动。分析侧重于青年对反种族主义的概念化，以及他们对如何促进有意识的反种族主义 YPAR 的建议。我们回答以下问题：(a) YOC 如何参与 YPAR 项目的概念化和定义反种族主义？(b) 青年和成人盟友如何将反种族主义 YPAR 项目概念化，他们为此使用和/或推荐哪些策略？我们采用工具性案例研究方法和专题分析对项目数据源进行编码。调查结果表明，青年对反种族主义的定义包括提升边缘化声音、积极抵制种族主义、结合交叉方法，并检查特权、权力和地位。YPAR 成员推荐了创建反种族主义 YPAR 的策略，包括在 YPAR 流程中优先考虑有色人种，创造空间来承认和处理位置和种族化动态，以及参与持续的教育和对话。此外，青年成员和成年盟友都认识到，反种族主义 YPAR 项目需要时间和资源才能始终保持反种族主义，而这样的目标只能通过反复和反思的过程来实现。并参与持续的教育和对话。此外，青年成员和成年盟友都认识到，反种族主义 YPAR 项目需要时间和资源才能始终保持反种族主义，而这样的目标只能通过反复和反思的过程来实现。并参与持续的教育和对话。此外，青年成员和成年盟友都认识到，反种族主义 YPAR 项目需要时间和资源才能始终保持反种族主义，而这样的目标只能通过反复和反思的过程来实现。
