The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 13, Number 1, 2006
This issue examines how youth leadership can promote youth development, increase adults' competence and deepen their understanding of youth issues, and improve program effectiveness. It focuses on actively engaging youth as partners in decision making. As a counterpoint, "adult-driven" approaches are also examined, with the goal of helping programs find the right balance between adult-driven and youth-driven approaches to best meet program goals.
