Abstract

This narrative review examines the literature on credible messenger mentoring (CMM) as an intervention to promote the health and well-being of youth involved in the juvenile legal system. In the CMM model, individuals with shared life experiences (e.g., from the same neighborhoods or marginalized communities, with former gang or incarceration history) serve as mentors, leveraging their own history of transformation to engage youth involved in the juvenile legal system and promote individual and community change. CMM is an increasingly popular approach for working with youth involved in the juvenile legal system, yet the state of the research on this intervention is unclear. This article provides a narrative review of existing research on CMM to understand what is known, and unknown, about the intervention. Results find an emerging, but incomplete body of evidence supporting the impact of CMM for youth involved in the juvenile legal system, and for adult mentors. Qualitative and observational findings provide stronger support for the model, while quantitative findings provide more mixed evidence, indicating that CMM may be a promising life course health intervention, yet needs more empirical study. Findings from this review underscore the value of integrating community-informed evidence in the evaluation of health interventions. Future research can inform contemporary interest in the CMM approach and guide implementation and measurement standards for optimizing intervention delivery with youth involved in the juvenile legal system.

可靠的信使辅导,以促进参与青少年法律体系的青少年的健康:叙述性审查。
这篇叙述性综述审查了关于可信信使辅导(CMM)的文献,将其作为促进青少年法律体系中青少年健康和福祉的干预措施。在CMM模型中,具有共同生活经历的个人(例如,来自同一社区或边缘化社区,曾有帮派或监禁史)充当导师,利用自己的转变历史,让年轻人参与青少年法律体系,促进个人和社区的变革。CMM是一种越来越受欢迎的与参与青少年法律体系的青少年合作的方法,但对这种干预的研究现状尚不清楚。本文对CMM的现有研究进行了叙述性回顾,以了解干预的已知和未知之处。研究结果发现,有一系列新兴但不完整的证据支持CMM对参与青少年法律体系的青少年和成人导师的影响。定性和观察性研究结果为该模型提供了更有力的支持,而定量研究结果提供了更为复杂的证据,表明CMM可能是一种很有前途的终身健康干预措施,但还需要更多的实证研究。这项审查的结果强调了将社区知情证据纳入卫生干预措施评估的价值。未来的研究可以为当代人对CMM方法的兴趣提供信息,并指导实施和衡量标准,以优化对参与青少年法律体系的青少年的干预。
