Abstract

Background: The aim of the study was to have youth participate in the design and implementation of a research project set within a child rights framework to better understand high schoolers' perceptions of safety in their school and community.

Results: Between June 2020 and March 2021, a team of East Harlem, New York high school students, participated as co-researchers to modify the United Nations Children's Fund Child Friendly Cities Initiative Survey to suit their needs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the final survey was conducted through an online remote classes system during advisory school classes, accompanied by brief focused group discussions. The novel process of conducting an interactive qualitative and quantitative virtual survey during a pandemic via youth participatory action research is outlined in this paper.

Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that youth participatory action research can be utilized as part of a child rights framework approach to assess the views of youth regarding community safety and violence prevention.

参与东哈莱姆，纽约青年的行动枪支暴力预防研究和儿童权利:初步研究。

背景:这项研究的目的是让青少年参与设计和实施一项在儿童权利框架内设定的研究项目，以更好地了解高中生对学校和社区安全的看法。结果:在2020年6月至2021年3月期间，一个由纽约东哈莱姆区高中生组成的团队作为共同研究人员参与修改了联合国儿童基金会儿童友好城市倡议调查，以满足他们的需求。由于COVID-19大流行，最终调查是在咨询学校课程期间通过在线远程课程系统进行的，并伴有简短的重点小组讨论。本文概述了通过青年参与性行动研究在大流行期间进行互动定性和定量虚拟调查的新过程。结论:我们的研究结果表明，青年参与性行动研究可以作为儿童权利框架方法的一部分来评估青年对社区安全和暴力预防的看法。

期刊介绍： Injury Epidemiology is dedicated to advancing the scientific foundation for injury prevention and control through timely publication and dissemination of peer-reviewed research. Injury Epidemiology aims to be the premier venue for communicating epidemiologic studies of unintentional and intentional injuries, including, but not limited to, morbidity and mortality from motor vehicle crashes, drug overdose/poisoning, falls, drowning, fires/burns, iatrogenic injury, suicide, homicide, assaults, and abuse. We welcome investigations designed to understand the magnitude, distribution, determinants, causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and outcomes of injuries in specific population groups, geographic regions, and environmental settings (e.g., home, workplace, transport, recreation, sports, and urban/rural). Injury Epidemiology has a special focus on studies generating objective and practical knowledge that can be translated into interventions to reduce injury morbidity and mortality on a population level. Priority consideration will be given to manuscripts that feature contemporary theories and concepts, innovative methods, and novel techniques as applied to injury surveillance, risk assessment, development and implementation of effective interventions, and program and policy evaluation.
