Indigenous Youth Voices: A Way Forward in Conducting Research with and by Indigenous Youth

Reports on information gathered at facilitated community sessions. Five major themes emerged: research as a part of community building; respect, safety and dignity; ethical research which meets basic needs; frustration and concern; and diversity of Indigenous youth voices. Youth also identified requirements for ethical and meaningful engagement, which included accessibility, youth involvement in developing and leading research, holistic approaches, ethics as identified by youth themselves, and research that is both community-led and culturally specific.
