Abstract in brief

This review examined how adolescents are involved in creating policies and guidelines aimed at preventing obesity and chronic diseases, finding that while some engagement exists, it is mostly limited to consultative activities like focus groups, mainly during early stages such as scoping and needs assessment.
Nine policies and guidelines from various countries and international organizations were analyzed, revealing that most engaged adolescents from disadvantaged groups and focused on health and wellbeing, but lacked comprehensive involvement across all stages of policy development.
The study highlights that adolescents are rarely involved in every step of policy or guideline creation, with most participation being consultative rather than collaborative, indicating a need for more meaningful and sustained youth engagement in health policy processes.
