ABSTRACT
While the literature on adolescent health and social media use is full of studies incorporating youth perspectives through participatory design, too little of this research is actually designed, conducted, and presented by youth. Thus, the following paper presents the work of five youth investigators on the topic of adolescent health and social media. All youth were equipped with tools and knowledge to scientifically evaluate a research question of their choice. The youth whose projects are featured here designed and conducted their own research project, drafted their own manuscript, and revised and resubmitted that draft based on reviewer input. Although all youth worked with research mentors, all ideas and suggestions for future research are their own.
