Abstract

Objective: Engaging youth in planning, developing, and implementing substance misuse prevention efforts can improve those efforts. However, specific local policies and systems constrain youth engagement practice. This study examines how to engage youth in substance misuse prevention within state prevention systems.

Methods: In the qualitative study, semi-structured interviews with 13 prevention providers in the North Carolina prevention system were conducted via video call and transcribed and analyzed via thematic and codebook approaches. Procedures are reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist.

Results: Providers viewed youth engagement favorably yet mostly did not differentiate between youth-targeted prevention initiatives and youth-engaged initiatives. Findings reveal how state-level decisions, such as definitions and funding policies, support and challenge how providers implement youth engagement.

Conclusions: To encourage youth engagement, state prevention systems should clarify for providers the distinction between prevention efforts targeted to youth and those that engage youth in planning and implementing and define which activities are desirable and what the role of youth should be in the activities. Finally, prevention providers need support for youth-engaged approaches to prevention, specifically training for youth and adult allies and opportunities for knowledge-sharing.

在国家预防系统内从事青少年药物滥用预防:提供者的观点。

目的:让青年参与规划、发展和实施预防药物滥用的努力可以改善这些努力。然而，具体的地方政策和制度限制了青年参与实践。本研究探讨了如何在国家预防系统内使青少年参与药物滥用预防。方法:在定性研究中，通过视频电话对北卡罗来纳州预防系统的13名预防提供者进行半结构化访谈，并通过主题和代码本方法进行转录和分析。程序按照报告定性研究的综合标准(COREQ)清单进行报告。结果:提供者对青年参与持积极态度，但大多数人没有区分针对青年的预防举措和青年参与的举措。调查结果揭示了国家层面的决定，如定义和资助政策，如何支持和挑战提供者如何实施青年参与。结论:为了鼓励青年参与，国家预防系统应该向提供者澄清针对青年的预防工作与让青年参与计划和实施的预防工作之间的区别，并确定哪些活动是可取的，以及青年在活动中应该扮演什么角色。最后，预防提供者需要支持青年参与的预防方法，特别是对青年和成人盟友的培训以及知识共享的机会。
