- Research Into Child Health in Europe, we highlight the priority of “giving

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is very important to encourage the participation of
young people in this process, through groups of young consultants that actively

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Extracurricular activities, voluntary work and free
time outside school are important ways to strengthen the bonds between the
adolescent and the community. Here, they may develop leadership and decision
making skills, increase the feeling of belonging and have adult social support
(Matos, Gaspar, Ferreira & Equipa Aventura Social, 2013). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin: 6pt -14.25pt 0pt 0cm; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">One of the social factors that may affect the
perception of health is ‘social alienation”, which refers to the separation,
exclusion or isolation associated to those with social difficulties and not
involved in communitarian activities (Safipour, Schopflocher, Higginbottom &
Emami, 2011). In health, ‘alienation’ is associated to health risks, such as
alcohol and other consumptions and the decrease in healthy activities (Jamner
& Stokols, 2000). During adolescence, the feeling of ‘alienation’ is
associated to several physical and psychological health problems (Rayce,
Holstein & Kreiner, 2008). At school, adolescents may have less friends and
less extended social networks, characteristics that may lead to symptoms of
depression and other psychological issues (Hall-Lande et al., 2007). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 13pt; margin: 6pt -14.25pt 0pt 0cm; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.45pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the other hand, social capital is associated to
health and well-being. When social capital is abundant, opportunities are
available for an adjusted growth in educational and cultural areas, with lower
levels of delinquency, maltreatment, child abuse, among others (Matos, Gaspar,
Ferreira & Equipa Aventura Social, 2013). Social capital includes social
ties among individuals: strong relations with a restricted group of people
(bonding) and superficial relationships with extended groups (bridging).
‘Strong ties’ are the base of social support <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(ex. Family), however, the importance of ‘weak
ties’ in social development, optimization of equity and equality of
opportunities has been debated (friends and neighbor networks) (Granovetter,
1983). Using social capital as a resource for health and well-being may help
build a support structure for empirical research in this area. Informal social
networks may be a source of easy access to information and services and enable
the development of health and well-being (Morgan, 2010; Matos, Morgan &
Aventura Social, 2012). Safipour and collaborators (2011) recommend that
educators and specialists develop interventions aiming at the prevention of
alienation, by promoting family and communitarian support and the quality of
friendships. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In Portugal, belonging to a social network (youth
clubs and associations, for example) does not have a big expression in
adolescence, which limits human support resources in case of difficulty and
suggests a need to reinforce the sense of association among children and
adolescents which demands, initially, adult support on logistics (Matos et al.,
2013). A suitable strategy for the development of health and well-being in
Portuguese youth involves the promotion of social capital and the prevention of
alienation in school aged children, through their participation in activities
that involve time spending with peers, the promotion and approximation of
research on health behaviors to reality and a national wide change in policies
and behaviors. It is essential to adjust research to young people’s real needs
so that the results offer behavioral and policy changes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We aim at creating a network of junior consultants
that are enrolled on year 6, 8 and 10 (ages part of the WHO’s international
HBSC study – </span><a href="http://www.hbsc.org/"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue;">www.hbsc.org</span></span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">)

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This network’s main objective is to promote social
capital and prevent alienation among young people, updating research on issues
that arise during adolescence and offering the participants an opportunity to
be actively involved in the comprehension and approach to such issues. The network
will be created with participants from all over the country that have interest
on the challenge, with parental consent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We aim to recruit young people with a certain profile:
specially interested in actively participating in comprehension processes and
behavioral changes among peers, and participants that represent several
cultural, political, religious, ethnic, among other tendencies. This process
will have an application phase announced through online social networks, with
the collaboration from schools, hospitals and other institutions associated to
youth (ESCOLHAS, IPDJ, SICAD, RNAJ, CNJ, PNED, IAC, CPCJ etc.), in articulation
with the Youth Consultive Council and Youth Municipal Councils. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

will be collected along with a motivation and intention letter, live SKYPE
interviews will be conducted in order to form a national under-18 team. For the
main national team, 28 young people will be selected, one from each grade in
each national region. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

groups in the Portuguese society under-18, 7 places will be assured (scouts, children
with chronic illness, heads of student associations, athletes, artists, etc.).
This will be defined in the final stage based on the 28 participants’ profile.
For all the works required to this network of young people, an online network
will be created in order to maintain permanent contact between junior and
senior researchers, through Skype or Dialogue Café (Fundação Calouste
Gulbenkian).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

their opinions on the issues brought up by the national senior team’s regular
work. However, a brief training on research methods and techniques in health
areas will be given. All the junior team participants (under-18) will have an
active participation in the elaboration of research instruments and group debates
on mental health, sexuality, substance consumption, self-harm, interpersonal
violence, academic success and expectations, family support, social support
networks, leisure, among others. Mainly, they will participate in the
identification of emerging problematics, gaps and solution trajectories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
