Introduction

Youth engagement in health research is a growing field that holds immense potential for improving health outcomes and empowering young individuals. The systematic review by Sanchez et al.

This blog aims to translate these findings into actionable insights for practitioners, particularly those involved in online therapy services for schools, like TinyEYE. By leveraging these frameworks, practitioners can enhance their engagement strategies and contribute to better health outcomes for children.

Practitioners are encouraged to contribute to this growing field by documenting their experiences and sharing insights from their practice. Collaborative efforts between researchers and practitioners can lead to the development of more robust and effective engagement strategies.

Conclusion

The systematic review by Sanchez et al. highlights the evolving landscape of youth engagement in health research. By adopting data-driven frameworks, practitioners can enhance their engagement strategies and contribute to better health outcomes for children.
