Characteristics of the ideal healthcare services to meet adolescents' mental health needs: A qualitative study of adolescents' perspectives.

Introduction: Despite increased focus on development of mental health services worldwide, many adolescents still hesitate to reach out to the services when they need them. This might be linked to the lack of adolescent involvement in the development of services. This study aimed to explore adolescents' perspectives on the ideal healthcare services to meet their mental health needs.

Involvement of adolescent representatives and coresearchers in mental health research: Experiences from a research project.

Introduction: In spite of adolescents' rights to be involved in decisions that concern their health and life, limited research has been published reporting on their involvement in mental health research. Therefore, we aim to present experiences and reflections based on the involvement of adolescents in mental health research, to describe the collaborative relationship between researchers and coresearchers, including the values that underpin their collaboration.

Methods: An autoethnographic approach was used, combined with group reflections.
