Engaging youth in participatory research enhances youth skills and assets and adds to the authenticity of the research. This case study will highlight a community-academic partnership between youth community members and academic researchers, formed with the goal of implementing and evaluating an evidence-based HIV prevention intervention in African American faith-based settings, and expanded in response to youth-driven imperatives to address social and environmental risk factors that impact HIV vulnerability among African American youth. The session will discuss training youth in research and advocacy skills and methods, supporting youth developing a research and advocacy agenda, and navigating institutional barriers to equitable youth-academic research partnerships.
