Visualising pathways to youth engagement: mapping of youth advisory groups across Australia

Engaging adolescents in public health decision-making is critical to ensuring their needs are met. However, a common barrier for adolescents to engage is a lack of known opportunities available to participate, such as through youth advisory groups (YAGs). We created a dynamic public health resource: a publicly available, interactive online map that synthesises over 400 YAGs across Australia, increasing the visibility of opportunities for adolescents to engage in decisions affecting their health, wellbeing and futures.

Abstract

Engaging adolescents in public health decision-making is critical to ensuring their needs are met. However, a common barrier for adolescents to engage is a lack of known opportunities available to participate, such as through youth advisory groups (YAGs). We created a dynamic public health resource: a publicly available, interactive online map that synthesises over 400 YAGs across Australia, increasing the visibility of opportunities for adolescents to engage in decisions affecting their health, wellbeing and futures.
