      youth development: a narrative systematic review.

AB  - OBJECTIVES: This narrative systematic review explored (1) how neighbourhood 
      interventions promote positive youth development (PYD) and (2) the role of 
      context for these interventions. We asked: How do neighbourhood interventions 
      become effective in promoting PYD for adolescents aged 12-18 years? METHODS: 
      Articles (n = 19) were analyzed using a framework integrating standards of health 
      promotion evaluation and elements of the ecological systems perspective. RESULTS: 
      First, results highlight the key characteristics of interventions that promote 
      PYD. An intervention's atmosphere encouraging supportive relationships and an 
      intervention's activities aiming to build skills and that are real and 
      challenging promoted PYD elements including cognitive competences, confidence, 
      connection, leadership, civic engagement, and feelings of empowerment. Secondly, 
      this review identified facilitators (e.g. partnerships and understanding of the 
      community) and constraints (e.g. funding and conflicts) to an intervention's 
      integration within its context. CONCLUSIONS: Results regarding interventions' 
      characteristics promoting PYD confirm findings from past reviews. Our findings 
      indicate that context is an important element of effective interventions. This 
      review encourages future evaluations to analyze the role of context to build a 
      better understanding of its role.
