Abstract COVID-19 vaccination rates remain lower among adolescents compared with adults. Youth participatory action research (YPAR) offers opportunities to inform youth vaccine communication at the local and population level. However, few studies have integrated systematic health YPAR. In current study, a diverse team of paid high school interns, undergraduate student mentors researchers in West Philadelphia YPAR programs developed theory-informed survey measure teen beliefs, information sources behavior. The was distributed locally informed youth-created campaign messages. addition, YPAR-derived measures complimented qualitative online elicitation US young Responses were coded using inductive content analysis, informing for subsequent population-level study This followed protocols approved by an Institutional Review Board.
