“…Larson (2000) argued that "this field has evolved separately from developmental psychology and has not had a strong base of research and theory, especially regarding positive youth development" (p. 171). More empirical support for the positive youth development approach is needed for helping youths to stretch their full potential when they enter into adult society (Rich, 2001;Roth et al, 1998) With specific reference to the Chinese culture, there is a paucity of instruments assessing psychosocial functioning of Chinese adolescents (Shek, 2002). In their review of the development of evidence-based practice in Hong Kong, Shek, Lam and Tsoi (2004) The second implication of the findings is that the subscales based on the CPYDS can be constructed to look at specific aspects of positive youth development.…”

“…Roth and Brooks-Gunn (2003) highlighted the importance of valid and reliable measurement tools, as it tell us why certain programs are successful in promoting healthy development among participants' lives. The availability of positive youth development instruments provides a better understanding of how a program positively impacts youths, and thereby improving the quality of programs in the future (National Research Council, 2002;Roth et al, 1998).…”

“…In fact, the rise in programs focusing on positive youth development occurred as part of the positive youth development movement (Roth et al 1998). The 4-H Study was unique for its time in including youth who were participating in youth programs as well as youth who were not (i.e., recruitment was done in programs and schools).…”

This commentary uses the contributions of the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development as a chance to reflect on the progress of the past two decades and suggest important tasks for the future. Meaningful advances in theory now set the stage for needed work on measurement, evaluation, and understanding of contextual processes. The commentary ends with a plea for an integration of the research and programmatic approaches of promotion and prevention in order to study youth development and implement youth programs.

“…N a j u v e n t u d e o s p l a n o s desenham a vida futura, norteiam ações de construção de si que podem desencadear um processo impulsionador de práticas de autocuidado. Segundo Ayres 26 , cuidado seria a capacidade autorreflexiva de atenção à saúde, estabelecida e definida a partir das prá-ticas engendradoras do projeto 27 Uma série de pesquisas vem destacando que no processo de participação, os pares e os adultos facilitadores servem de recurso para o aprendizado de noções de alimentação saudável, de higiene e o estimulo a atividades físicas e culturais, além do acesso a conhecimentos sobre sociedade, história, políti-ca, e procedimentos e regras de democracia 8,17,19,22,28,29 . A ampliação do horizonte de saberes funciona como recurso ao cuidado, à mudança de comportamento e de perspectiva em relação a seu lugar no mundo, ao engajamento comunitário e compartilhamento de valores relacionados ao bem comum, solidariedade e justiça.…”

RESUMOA participação juvenil tem sido investigada em vários campos do conhecimento. Embora a literatura aborde aspectos relativos às dimensões psicológica, educacional e cívica, a tendência não tem sido a de relacioná-las à perspectiva da saúde. O objetivo é analisar como práticas participativas promovem processos desenvolvimentais saudáveis. Foram consultadas as bases de dados Sage, Scielo, Lilacs e Dialnet e coletados artigos publicados no período de 1999 a 2011. A revisão da literatura articula a participação à promoção da saúde mediante a aprendizagem de competências que engendram o empowerment -preparando o jovem para conduzir sua vida. A participação pode ser entendida como uma socialização consciente e propositiva mediante a qual valores são aprendidos e práticas democráticas são assimiladas facultando a atuação na esfera pública. Enquanto domínio de autopromoção, a participação capacita o jovem à autogestão da vida a partir da constituição do projeto existencial: oportunidade para definir seu modo de ser como estratégia de autocuidado. Conclui-se que a participação conforma um mecanismo formativo que impulsiona uma reflexividade cognoscitiva, mediadora da autonomia e da autoria do jovem.Palavras-chave: participação; promoção da saúde; cidadania; cuidado; juventude. ABSTRACTYouth participation has been investigated in many fields of knowledge. Even though literature approaches aspects regarding psychological, educational and civic dimensions, there has not been a tendency to link them to a health perspective. The purpose of this article is to analyze how participative practices promote healthy developmental processes. The Sage, Scielo, Lilacs and Dialnet databases have been consulted, and articles published between 1999 and 2011 have been collected. The review of literary works combines participation and health promotion through the learning of skill sets that engender empowerment -which prepares youths to lead their own lives. Participation may be understood as a conscious and propositive socialization through which values are learned and democratic practices are assimilated, giving them the choice to be active in the public sphere. While a domain of self-promotion, participation enables youths to lead their own lives through the making of an existential project: the opportunity to define their personality as a strategy of self-care. It is understood then that participation adjusts formative mechanisms that propel a cognoscitive reflection, which is a mediator of the youth's autonomy and authorship.
