Youth engagement at The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health
In 2021, we made a commitment to expand our youth engagement at The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health and launched our inaugural Youth Advisory Panel, with eight youth advisors aged 16–24 years from diverse backgrounds globally. The Youth Advisory Panel sits alongside our International Advisory Board and has been influential in the journal’s work in the past 3 years. The editorial team has valued their thoughtful feedback on content and suggestions for topics, and enjoyed discussing issues such as gender equity, climate change, a career in research, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth with them in podcasts and webinars, among many other projects.
