New Peer Reviewed Article: Development and Testing of an Assessment of Youth/Young Adult Voice in Agency-Level Advising and Decision Making
Pathways researchers, Janet Walker, Jennifer Blakeslee and Caitlin Baird have collaborated with authors from Youth MOVE National, Brianne M. Masselli and Kristin Thorp, on a peer-reviewed journal article recently published in Children and Youth Services Review. The article describes the development and validation of the Youth/Young Adult Voice at the Agency Level (Y-VAL), an assessment of the extent to which agencies have implemented best practices for supporting meaningful participation. The Y-VAL is intended for research purposes, as well as to provide agencies with direct guidance about strengths and challenges regarding their efforts to promote youth/young adult voice.
