近几十年来，青少年健康结果几乎没有进展。研究人员和青年服务组织努力准确地引出青年的声音，并将青年的观点转化为医疗保健政策。我们的目的是描述协议的MyVoice项目，纵向混合方法的研究，旨在吸引青年，特别是那些通常不包括在研究中。短信调查是在真实的时间内收集、分析和传播的，以利用青年的观点影响政策。招募14至24岁的青年每周接受一次关于各种政策和卫生主题的短信调查。研究团队包括学术研究人员、方法学家和青年，通过迭代的写作和试点过程开发问题。问题主题是从社区组织、研究人员和政策制定者那里引出的，以告知突出的政策。开发了一个以青年为中心的互动平台，自动向参与者发送保密的每周调查和奖励。不需要父母同意，因为调查对参与者的风险很小。招募发生在网上（例如，Facebook，Instagram，大学健康研究网站）和社区活动中。每周调查收集定量和定性数据。使用描述性统计分析定量数据。使用自然语言处理和传统的定性方法快速分析定性数据。混合方法的整合和分析支持对研究问题的更深入理解。我们目前正在通过面对面和在线策略招募和登记参与者。正在拟订问题、收集每周数据、分析数据和传播数据。“我的声音”利用一种广泛、现成的技术--短信，在真实的时间里迅速捕捉年轻人的想法和意见。结果通过多种方法传播给研究人员、政策制定者和青年服务组织。决策者和组织还与研究小组分享其优先领域，以制定更多的问题集，为重要的政策决定提供信息。为青年服务的组织可以利用这些成果作出促进青年福祉的决定。
There has been little progress in adolescent health outcomes in recent decades. Researchers and youth-serving organizations struggle to accurately elicit youth voice and translate youth perspectives into health care policy. Our aim is to describe the protocol of the MyVoice Project, a longitudinal mixed methods study designed to engage youth, particularly those not typically included in research. Text messaging surveys are collected, analyzed, and disseminated in real time to leverage youth perspectives to impact policy. Youth aged 14 to 24 years are recruited to receive weekly text message surveys on a variety of policy and health topics. The research team, including academic researchers, methodologists, and youth, develop questions through an iterative writing and piloting process. Question topics are elicited from community organizations, researchers, and policy makers to inform salient policies. A youth-centered interactive platform has been developed that automatically sends confidential weekly surveys and incentives to participants. Parental consent is not required because the survey is of minimal risk to participants. Recruitment occurs online (eg, Facebook, Instagram, university health research website) and in person at community events. Weekly surveys collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data are analyzed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data are quickly analyzed using natural language processing and traditional qualitative methods. Mixed methods integration and analysis supports a more in-depth understanding of the research questions. We are currently recruiting and enrolling participants through in-person and online strategies. Question development, weekly data collection, data analysis, and dissemination are in progress. MyVoice quickly ascertains the thoughts and opinions of youth in real time using a widespread, readily available technology—text messaging. Results are disseminated to researchers, policy makers, and youth-serving organizations through a variety of methods. Policy makers and organizations also share their priority areas with the research team to develop additional question sets to inform important policy decisions. Youth-serving organizations can use results to make decisions to promote youth well-being.
