Description:
This article critically assesses young people’s involvement as public partners in three sexual health projects, with respect to seven interconnected dimensions of participatory practice: purpose, positioning, perspectives, power relations, protection, place and process.
Key learning includes the importance of young people’s early involvement in agenda-setting for projects; developing trusting partnerships that can support involvement of diverse groups of young people; creating multiple ways for young people to contribute, including those that do not rely on direct conversation; and a need to prioritise evaluation both of young people’s experiences of involvement, and the changes that involvement makes to strengthening research and services.
