Abstract

Abstract: On the basis of the systematic literature review, we investigate the characteristics of community‐based Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) programs with a focus on health and well‐being and their recommendations for future programs. The study was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses diagram. Most included a case study design, mixed or qualitative methodology, interview as data collection, and YPAR youth in data reporting. The sample differs between studies, and most of the work took place in the United States. The stages (raise awareness, capacitation, design, motivation, implementation, evaluation, dissemination, and replication) are evident as a fundamental strategy in these programs.
