The Coproduced Youth Priorities Project: Australian Youth Priorities for Mental Health and Substance Use Prevention Research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

New approaches to mental health and substance use prevention, that bridge research and diagnostic silos are urgently needed to address rising trends in mental illness amongst young people. Engaging diverse stakeholders, including young people, in setting research priorities could aid the development of innovative responses, enhance research and improve translation. While previous activities have identified priorities for Australian mental health and substance use prevention research, none have centred young people as a primary stakeholder. The current study is a critical next step to understand youth perspectives.

Methods

This Youth Priorities Project was coproduced with members of The Matilda Centre and PREMISE NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence Youth Advisory B
