背景网络欺凌是一个国际公共卫生问题。让年轻人参与，可以加强理解和解决这一问题的努力。本文介绍了一个基于权利的合作，与年轻人在定性探索网络欺凌。报告介绍了青年咨询小组的建立、实施和评估情况，并确定了对研究进程和所涉青年的影响。方法16名小学后的学生会见了研究人员五次在青年中心。会议的重点是建设青年参与研究的能力，设计定性研究，解释研究结果和评估合作过程。咨询小组强调，对网络欺凌缺乏理解和适当行动，但认为他们的参与最终将有助于成年人了解他们的观点。评价结果表明，成员们得到了支持，就研究的设计、进行和解释形成并表达了自己的观点，成年研究人员对这些观点采取了行动。他们的参与有助于确保研究具有相关性，并反映青年人的经验、兴趣、价值观和规范。结论年轻人可以为研究过程贡献一个独特的视角，否则成年研究人员无法获得。本研究报告所述的方法是使青年人参与卫生研究的可行和有效的方法，可加以调整，以探讨与青年人有关的其他专题。
Background Cyberbullying is an international Public Health concern. Efforts to understand and address it can be enhanced by involving young people. This paper describes a rights-based collaboration with young people in a qualitative exploration of cyberbullying. It describes the establishment, implementation and evaluation of a Young Person's Advisory Group as well as identifying the impact on the research process and the young people involved. Methods Sixteen postprimary school students met with researchers on five occasions in a youth centre. Sessions focused on building the young people's capacity to engage with the research, designing the qualitative study, interpreting study findings and evaluating the collaboration process. Results The Advisory Group highlighted a lack of understanding and appropriate action with regard to cyberbullying but believed that their involvement would ultimately help adults to understand their perspective. Evaluation findings indicate that members were supported to form as well as express their views on the design, conduct and interpretation of the research and that these views were acted upon by adult researchers. Their involvement helped to ensure that the research was relevant and reflective of the experiences, interests, values and norms of young people. Conclusion Young people can contribute a unique perspective to the research process that is otherwise not accessible to adult researchers. The approach described in this study is a feasible and effective way of operationalizing young people's involvement in health research and could be adapted to explore other topics of relevance to young people.
