Abstract

Introduction Young people have played a pivotal role as part of the COVID-19 response, including developing health messages and social innovations. Social innovation in health engages multiple stakeholders in linking social change and health improvement. The study examined the feasibility of youth ideas and innovations to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analyses. Methods In partnership with the WHO, academic institutions, youth organisations and civil society groups, we conducted a crowdsourcing open call among Filipino youth (15–30 years old) using a structured Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases/Social Innovation in Health Initiative process. The open call had three categories: youth voices to cocreate the post-COVID-19 world (entries were texts, images, videos and music), youth-led COVID-19 social innovations, and youth-led social innovations not related to COVID-19. Each submission was evaluated by three independent judges. Finalists were selected in each of the categories alongside four grand winners. All finalists were invited to attend a 1 day online civic hackathon. Results We received a total of 113 entries (youth voices to cocreate the post-COVID world=76; youth-led COVID-19 social innovations=17; youth-led social innovations not related to COVID-19=20). Twelve entries focused on youth mental health during the pandemic. The online hackathon provided the participants mentorship for further development of their ideas. Finalists were able to produce draft health communication campaigns and improved social innovations. Conclusion Many Filipino youth created exceptional entries in response to the open call. This suggests the feasibility of including youth voices in strategic planning processes. A global youth social innovation call is recommended.

2019冠状病毒病大流行期间菲律宾青年社会创新:来自众包公开征集和在线黑客马拉松的定量和定性描述性分析

青年在应对COVID-19方面发挥了关键作用，包括发展健康信息和社会创新。卫生领域的社会创新使多个利益攸关方参与将社会变革与改善健康联系起来。该研究通过定量和定性描述性分析，考察了青年的想法和创新在应对COVID-19大流行影响方面的可行性。方法:我们与世卫组织、学术机构、青年组织和民间社会团体合作，利用结构化的热带病研究和培训特别规划/卫生社会创新倡议进程，在菲律宾青年(15-30岁)中进行了众包公开呼吁。本次公开征集分为三个类别:共同创造后COVID-19世界的青年之声(参赛作品为文本、图像、视频和音乐)，青年主导的COVID-19社会创新，以及与COVID-19无关的青年主导的社会创新。每件作品都由三位独立的评委进行评估。每个类别的决赛选手与四名大奖得主一起被选出。所有入围者都被邀请参加为期一天的在线公民黑客马拉松。结果共收到参赛作品113篇(共同创造后疫情世界的青年之声=76篇;青年主导的COVID-19社会创新=17;与COVID-19无关的青年主导的社会创新=20)。12个条目侧重于大流行期间的青年心理健康。在线黑客马拉松为参与者提供了进一步发展他们的想法的指导。入围者能够制定卫生宣传运动草案和改进的社会创新。许多菲律宾青年在公开征集中创作了出色的作品。这表明在战略规划过程中纳入青年声音是可行的。建议全球青年社会创新呼吁。
