Abstract

Abstract Youth in the US experience high rates of sexual violence. Historically, adults design and deliver preventive initiatives, with youth limited as participants and recipients. The use of community-based participatory research and other participatory approaches can expand the reach and impact of adolescent sexual violence prevention initiatives by positioning youth as leaders and co-researchers. This systematic review explores both adolescent violence prevention programs and research projects that take a participatory, youth-engaged, or youth-led approach. The review aims to understand what activities youth are involved in and how they are equipped for their roles. Following PRISMA guidelines, the review located eight eligible articles that involved high school youth or younger as more than data, focused on adolescent sexual or dating violence prevention, and whose programs or studies were conducted in the United States. I reviewed each article for programmatic and study specifics, with special attention to which stages youth participated in and how capacity-building was incorporated. Results revealed that youth can participate in a variety of activities, though they are involved in certain stages more than others and that capacity-building ranged in breadth and frequency. I call researchers to detail youth activities and training and explain clearly their participatory approach and decisions.
