性传播感染和糖尿病等健康问题继续上升，特别是在低收入社区的非裔美国人和西班牙裔青少年中。青年发展计划是一种有效的公共卫生应对措施，使参与者、服务于他们的计划和他们所在的社区受益。目的：探讨在青年健康行动委员会(YHAB)试点项目中整合发展资产(DA)和社会生态模型(SEM)的效果。方法：YHAB由青年创建并实施。它的影响是通过个人访谈来考察的，以了解年轻人对他们的经历如何影响他们自己和他们的社区的印象。结果：YHAB参与者感觉到他们通过在社区中建立外部支持、增加内部和外部DA的经验而成长。内部资产占主导地位，但学生受益于外部支持和赋权。讨论：青年会成功地整合了发展议程和青年发展教育。更多的研究可能会深化发现，并允许对更广泛的人群进行推断。转化为健康教育实践：YHAB计划的优势在于其青少年发展过程。类似的计划在每个社区应该看起来不同，因为社区和青年的需求和资源塑造了计划活动。
Health problems such as sexually transmitted infections and diabetes continue to rise, especially among African American and Hispanic adolescents in low-income communities. Youth development programs are an effective public health response, benefiting participants, the programs that serve them, and their community. Purpose: To explore the efficacy of integrating the Developmental Assets (DA) and Socio-Ecological Model (SEM) in a pilot youth program, the Youth Health Action Board (YHAB). Methods: YHAB was created and implemented by youth. Its impact was examined through individual interviews to learn youth impressions of how their experience affected themselves and their community. Results: YHAB participants feel they personally grew through their experience of building external support in their community, increasing both internal and external DAs. Internal assets were dominant, however students benefited from external support and empowerment. Discussion: YHAB was a successful integration of the DA and SEM for youth development. Additional research could deepen findings and allow extrapolation to broader populations. Translation to Health Education Practice: YHAB program strength lies in its youth development process. Similar programs should look different in each community, as community and youth needs and resources shape program activities.
