| Summary: | Many vulnerable youth experience violence, often resulting in mental illness at rates higher than their peers. Community-based participatory research can provide a framework to build capacity to conduct health equity research, particularly from community members who may not typically participate in research design and intervention. This case review fills a gap in the literature regarding an approach to community-based participatory research with youth, and highlights some of the barriers and facilitators noted by interdisciplinary research teams on three different projects. Specifically, the pilot studies were conducted in partnership with one agency in western New York to assess and build capacity for future randomized control trials with homeless youth exposed to violence that involved a person-centered trauma therapy. Each study elucidated the capacity required for the providers, participants, and researchers to conduct a randomized control trial with vulnerable youth based on the principles of equity. Results from each study include insights about youth acceptance of, and experience with, a cognitive-based intervention, namely, narrative exposure therapy, as well as insights from agency outreach workers who work directly with homeless youth. Findings from these studies are currently being used to develop multisite randomized control trials. |
