“…First, any research involving youth raises distinct ethical issues; these include perceived power disparities, capacity to provide informed consent and legal obligations on the researcher to disclose otherwise confidential data (e.g., reports of physical or sexual abuse) ( 44 , 45 ). Parents, schools, and other authorities often act as gatekeepers, thus limiting researchers’ access to young people ( 44 – 46 ). Consequently, researchers may avoid studying young people in favor of other classes of participants.…”

BackgroundYouth peer-led interventions have become a popular way of sharing health information with young people and appear well suited to Indigenous community contexts. However, no systematic reviews focusing on Indigenous youth have been published. We conducted a systematic review to understand the range and characteristics of Indigenous youth-led health promotion projects implemented and their effectiveness.MethodsA systematic search of Medline, Embase, and ProQuest Social Sciences databases was conducted, supplemented by gray literature searches. Included studies focused on interventions where young Indigenous people delivered health information to age-matched peers.ResultsTwenty-four studies were identified for inclusion, based on 20 interventions (9 Australian, 4 Canadian, and 7 from the United States of America). Only one intervention was evaluated using a randomized controlled study design. The majority of evaluations took the form of pre–post studies. Methodological limitations were identified in a majority of studies. Study outcomes included improved knowledge, attitude, and behaviors.ConclusionCurrently, there is limited high quality evidence for the effectiveness of peer-led health interventions with Indigenous young people, and the literature is dominated by Australian-based sexual health interventions. More systematic research investigating the effectiveness of peer-led inventions is required, specifically with Indigenous populations. To improve health outcomes for Indigenous youth, greater knowledge of the mechanisms and context under which peer-delivered health promotion is effective in comparison to other methods of health promotion is needed.

“…Facilitators must have a written plan in place that guides their response to these issues, including what interventions facilitators can make independently, and who is on call to help with assessment, reporting or referral. PIRC has such a policy for emergency situations as well as a list of mental health and health experts available to help facilitators address emergency issues (Bauman, Sclafane, LoIacono, Wilson & Macklin, 2008). …”

“…Adolescents who were not engaged in care and did not want to form a personal safety plan would have been referred to our on-call mental health professionals. A decision tree of the anticipated scenarios during participant screening — including rules for providing help to participants, contact information for experts to provide guidance and emergency procedures for dealing with life-threatening situations or adverse incidents (Bauman, Sclafane, LoIacono, Wilson, & Macklin, 2008; McDermott & Roen, 2012) — was devised.…”
