Designs and Methods for Youth-Led Research

Youth-led research is increasing in popularity around the globe and empowers today's youth to help shape social interventions seeking to reach their population group. Designs and Methods for Youth-Led Research provides students and practitioners with a foundation from which to plan and implement social research and program evaluation projects that place youth in central roles. In this text, author Melvin Delgado emphasizes how youth-led research is much more than "research undertaken by youth"-it represents a profound political and social statement about making relevant research result in significant changes to programs in the field of youth services.

Designs and Methods for Youth-Led Research is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying youth development in a variety of social work, psychology, education, and social research courses. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners in the fields of youth development and youth services.
