“…Though highlighted as an effective arts-based method for intervention with children and youth in public health (Guse et al, 2013;Sawyer & Willis, 2011), the capacity of digital storytelling to serve as intervention for youth affected by global adversity, specifically as a tool for peacebuilding, is gradually being realised. Hanebrink and Smith (2013) note that participatory methods such as digital storytelling 'can enable transformation, both individually and communally, of their realities from the wreckage of war towards acceptance and a construction of peace that includes social rehabilitation and conflict prevention ' (p. 195).…”

Global health research typically relies on the translation of knowledge (from health professionals to the community) and the dissemination of knowledge (from research results to the wider public). However, Greenhalgh and Wieringa [2011. Is it time to drop the 'knowledge translation' metaphor? A critical literature review. Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 104(12), 501-509. doi: 10.1258/jrsm.2011.110285 ] suggest 'that while "translation" is a widely used metaphor in medicine, it constrains how we conceptualize and study the link between knowledge and practice' (p. 501). Often the knowledge garnered from such research projects comes from health professionals rather than reflecting the lived experiences of people and communities. Likewise, there has been a gap in 'translating' and 'disseminating' the results of participatory action research projects to policymakers and medical practitioners. This paper will look at how using participatory visual methodologies in global health research with children and youth facing global adversity incorporates the multiple functions of their lived realities so that research becomes a means of intervention. Drawing from a literature review of participatory visual methods as media, content and processes of global health research, this paper raises practical, theoretical, and ethical questions that arise from research as intervention. The paper concludes by exploring what lessons emerge when participatory visual methodologies are integrated into global health research with children and youth facing global adversity.

201)Over the last decade, global health research has taken a turn towards using knowledge generated through translation (from health professionals to the community) and dissemination (from research results to the wider audience). However, Greenhalgh and Wieringa (2011) suggest 'that while "translation" is a widely used metaphor in medicine, it constrains how we conceptualize and study the link between knowledge and practice' (p. 501). Often the knowledge garnered from such research projects comes from health professionals rather than reflecting the lived experiences of people and communities. Likewise, there has been a gap in 'translating' and 'disseminating' the results of participatory action research projects to policymakers and medical practitioners. This article will look at how using participatory visual methodologies in global health research with children and youth facing global adversity incorporates the multiple functions of translation and dissemination so that research becomes a means of intervention.

“…The benefits of participatory approaches were highlighted in a rigorously conducted review of communitybased, participatory research on child health (Vaughn et al 2013), which concluded that they directly support the translation of knowledge into interventions development, implementation and evaluation; so this approach is essentially practical. Youth participation in research has produced good-quality, applicable, co-produced knowledge in diverse contexts, including social work priority clarification in Iceland (Fern & Kristinsd ottir 2011); human immunodeficiency virus interventions in a Canadian community (Flicker et al 2004); African American sexual health education (Guse et al 2013); American Indian youth services (Langdon et al 2016); and health service planning with urban Aborigines (Holmes et al 2002). Participatory approaches enhanced accuracy and truthfulness of results from studies with sick children in an acute care setting (Lambert et al 2013) and youth with a previous cancer diagnosis (Taylor et al 2016).…”

Accessible summary What is known on this subject? Young people's mental health is a concern to people around the world. Good emotional health promotes mental health and protects against mental illness, but we need to know more about how to help young people look after their emotional health. We are learning that research is better if the public are involved in it, including children and young people. Therefore, we need to listen carefully to what young people have to say. In this paper, we describe some research that involved young people from start to finish. We were asking what kind of emotional health support would be useful to them. What this paper adds to existing knowledge? We developed a useful way to involve young people in research so their voice can be heard. Young people like to use the Internet to find emotional health support and information, but need to know which web sites they can trust. What are the implications for practice? Our method of bringing young people together to tell us their views was successful. It is important to explore ways to help young people judge the quality of emotional health web sites. Abstract IntroductionYouth mental health is a global concern. Emotional health promotes mental health and protects against mental illness. Youth value self‐care for emotional health, but we need better understanding of how to help them look after their emotional health. Participatory research is relevant, since meaningful engagement with youth via participatory research enhances the validity and relevance of research findings and supports young people's rights to involvement in decisions that concern them. AimWe aimed to develop a participatory approach for involving youth in research about their emotional health support preferences. MethodOur team included a young expert‐by‐experience. We developed a qualitative, participatory research design. Eleven youth (16–18 years) participated in focus groups, followed immediately by a nominal group exercise in which they analysed the data, thus enhancing methodological rigour. ResultsThis process highlighted youth perspectives on self‐care strategies for emotional health. Discussion and implications for practiceOur simple participatory research approach generated trustworthy and credible findings, which accurately reflect youth perspectives and are consistent with the literature, endorsing our method. Young people said that they want reassurances of quality and safety when accessing digital mental health resources. These findings can inform future development of youth‐oriented digital mental health resources.
