Workplace tokenism, the use of superficial efforts to appear equitable, which often leads to burnout of marginalized groups, is pervasive, even in health and human service organizations dedicated to improving their community's health and well-being. An original research project to identify interventions addressing tokenism within Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer plus serving health and human service agencies in New York was unable to engage staff in focus groups. A follow-up survey with 41 potential participants reported burnout as the main reason for nonparticipation. Qualitative data revealed desired aftercare for the retraumatizing nature of sharing individual experiences. Utilizing a community-based participatory research approach with an antiracism lens may mitigate challenges addressing tokenism, thereby increasing workplace inclusion of our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer plus community.

Background: This commentary article critically assesses the inclusion and recognition of young adults with lived and living experiences (YALLE) in academic publishing. Stemming from our involvement in a health research study, this analysis interrogates the disparity between the stated importance of YALLE contributions in health research and their actual recognition, specifically in academic publications, which serve as the principal "currency" in research. This tokenism limits the potential for their unique insights to substantially enrich the discourse and dissemination of knowledge.
