CALHEIROS, Maria Manuel; PATRICIO, Joana Nunes  e  BERNARDES, Sónia. The design of a health center for youth: an example of participatory research. Anál. Social [online]. 2014, n.210, pp.128-147. ISSN 0003-2573.

The right of youth to participation is a means for young people to express their needs and claim their rights. However, the perspectives of youth remain underrepresented in research applied to the definition of policies and practices within the health services and are seldom used to improve them. In this article we present the results of a participatory research in the design of a health service with young people. The results indicate the reasons for the recurrence of young people to health services, as well as the characteristics of an ideal health center in their perspective.

Palavras-chave : participation; youth; needs assessment; services design.
