“…Nevertheless, at least one study of perceived outcomes does exist. Howe, Batchelor, and Bochynska (2011) reported on the implementation and evaluation of a youth participation model in youth mental health services in Australia. Youth ages 15 to 25 years were recruited as consultants on the development and design of a wide range of mental health services.…”

“…Lawford, Ramey, Rose-Krasnor, and Proctor (2012) found that youth voice in an activity context, specifically, was related to increases in youth's overall positive development. Depending on youth's roles in the partnership, learning has been reported in areas including leadership, decision making, teamwork, communication, and presentation or public speaking skills (Gambone, Yu, LewisCharp, Sipe, & Lacoe, 2006;Howe, Batchelor, & Bochynska, 2011;Ramey & Rose-Krasnor, 2015). Additional perceived gains in knowledge and understanding have been reported in areas more specific to youth-adult partnership activities, such as knowledge and understanding of youth mental health (Howe et al, 2011;Ramey & Rose-Krasnor, 2015).…”

“…Youth also have been found to develop new friendships through their participation, and to gain interpersonal skills, including learning to listen and work collaboratively with others (Conner, 2014;Howe et al, 2011). Youth involvement in youth-adult partnerships also has been connected to young people's beliefs that they are able to express their thoughts and feelings to others, and to their level of empathy (Akiva et al, 2014).…”

“…A number of studies indicate that young people have felt empowered by their involvement in youth-adult partnerships, at least in part because their participation was seen as giving them credibility and legitimacy (e.g., Blanchet-Cohen, Manolson, & Shaw, 2014;Howe et al, 2011). A qualitative study by Cargo, Grams, Ottoson, Ward, and Green (2003) showed that empowerment in youth-adult partnerships occurred though a transactional process, in which adults created a welcoming atmosphere, supporting youth's voice and responsible action.…”

“…Specific contexts require their own considerations. For example, Howe et al (2011) found that practitioners in a children's mental health organization with a youthadult partnership had concerns pertaining to youth's presence and roles while in the physical office space, and confidentiality regarding current clients. This suggests that, in these specific settings, youth-adult partnerships also require open communication and planning to address concerns regarding boundaries and confidentiality.…”

Youth-adult partnerships in child and youth services engage the participants in collaborative, shared decision making, in areas such as governance, program planning and implementation, and advocacy. However, these partnerships often occur in isolation, and fail to engage in potentially useful, larger conversations about theory and research. Therefore, in an effort to provide common grounds for understanding and engaging in such partnerships, we offer an overview of current literature. We discuss definitions and discourses, describe models of youth-adult partnerships, and briefly consider current research on potential benefits for youth, adults, organizations, and communities. We also present challenges and promising practices for adult allies engaged in youth-adult partnerships.

Issues addressed Research is needed to understand young people's perspectives about public health promotion strategies relevant for their health and wellbeing. This study provides suggestions from young male gamblers about sports betting harm prevention and reduction strategies. Methods In‐depth interviews were conducted with 16 young men aged 18 to 24 years, from Melbourne, Victoria, who regularly engaged in sports betting. A critical qualitative inquiry approach, using methods of constructivist grounded theory guided the study. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to interpret and construct themes from the data. Results Participants indicated three main harm prevention strategies. These were online consumer protection and regulatory strategies, public education campaigns that highlighted sports betting risks and harms and the creation of formal and informal support networks to reduce stigma and encourage help seeking. They also supported being engaged in the development of harm prevention strategies and suggested ways to help reduce barriers to engagement. Conclusion Young men recognise the need for regulatory, education and engagement responses to counter the risks posed by new gambling products. Young men may be difficult to engage in formal prevention activities, however, youth‐led and informal interactive mechanisms may help to overcome this barrier, and contribute to a comprehensive public health approach to gambling harm prevention. So what? Young men can draw upon their lived experiences of gambling to provide insights relevant for public health promotion. Mechanisms should be developed to engage young people in the co‐production of strategies and policies aimed at gambling harm prevention and reduction.
