The YSMENA Community Advisory Board works to provide leadership and advice for the YSMENA study by:
 

• Identifying priority research questions

 

• Facilitating a process where MENA youth (16-29yrs) can form their own subgroup as part of the community advisory board in order to capture their voice and to create more ease in discussions without adults

 

• Reviewing and providing constructive feedback on the YSMENA project objectives, deliverables, and timelines when required

 

• Advising on the design of the YSMENA focus group protocols and questionnaires and to develop specific questions when necessary

 

• Collaborating with members of the Core Research Team and other teams (e.g. MENA Youth Sexual Health Research Network) when required to meet study needs.
