背景：患者和公众参与现在是健康相关研究的重要组成部分。证据表明，研究，涉及患者和公众可以提高方法的严谨性和促进实施的研究findings.Aims：我们的论文介绍了一个青年研究小组（青年发言）的发展，旨在增加青年参与心理健康research.Method：我们提供了一个选择性的文献回顾，并概述了挑战和好处，让年轻人参与研究。我们的小组如何促进参与和我们所遇到的挑战的例子也discussed.Results：有意义的参与青年人在心理健康研究记录不佳或显着缺乏出版文献的缺乏。这可能反映了难以获得持续的资金，而这种资金是促进非象征性参与所必需的，或者反映了一种看法，即青年人无法在这一领域作出有意义的贡献。通过建立诸如“青年之声”之类的团体，这些团体侧重于青年人在研究过程的所有阶段的长期参与和发展，我们希望赋予年轻人权力，使他们能够重塑青年精神健康服务。
Background: Patient and Public Involvement is now an essential part of health-related research. Evidence suggests that research that involves patients and members of the public can enhance methodological rigor and facilitate the implementation of research findings.Aims: Our paper describes the development of a youth research group (Youth Speak) aimed at increasing youth engagement in mental health research.Method: We provide a selective review of the literature and outline the challenges and benefits of involving young people in research. Examples of how our group has facilitated involvement and the challenges we have encountered are also discussed.Results: Meaningful involvement of young people in mental health research is poorly documented or significantly lacking given the dearth of published literature. This may reflect the difficulty of obtaining sustained funding which is required to facilitate non-tokenistic involvement or a perception that young people are unable to provide meaningful contributions in this area.Conclusions: By establishing groups such as Youth Speak, which focus on the long-term involvement and development of young people in all stages of the research process, we hope to empower young people so that they can reshape youth mental health services.
