Abstract

The author of “Adolescent Cocreation in Digital Health: From Passive Subjects to Active Stakeholders” highlights the importance of actively involving adolescents in research about adolescent health. Our co-design with adolescents, outlined in “Developing an Educational Resource Aimed at Improving Adolescent Digital Health Literacy: Using Co-Design as Research Methodology”, was characterized as a “pivotal intervention” because we prioritized the youth voice in its design process.
