Applying the nominal group technique to determine emerging stressors related to youth mental health: findings from a multi-country stakeholder consensus-building exercise

There was a high level of consensus in terms of the stressors that were identified in relation to youth mental health, suggesting that use of NGT provides an effective tool to generate pertinent data from a single session with important research and policy implications. These findings underscore the need for more empirical research focused on knowledge gaps associated with the identified stressors-in terms of youth mental health-which can then better inform funding agendas as well as mental health policy and practice.
