Worldwide, young people are increasingly engaged in participation and decision-making initiatives regarding issues that affect their lives through advisory groups, representative councils, advocacy and activism. Emerging evidence suggests that these initiatives may have an impact on the mental health and wellbeing of the youth involved. These guidelines, which are based on a scoping review of global evidence and led by a youth advisory group with lived experience of participation initiatives, summarise evidence-based recommendations for designing and implementing youth participation initiatives that protect the mental health and wellbeing of the young people involved. Development of these guidelines followed methods outlined by the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) instrument and the strength of the evidence behind each recommendation was aligned with the National Health and Medical Research Council Levels of Evidence and recommendation grading system. ⋯ These guidelines are expected to provide cross-sectoral, global groups with the confidence to design and implement youth participation initiatives, using the best-available evidence, in ways that safeguard the mental health of the participating young people.
