Abstract
Based on the theory and quality criteria of Youth-Participatory Action Research (Y-PAR), youth and adult co-researchers at a social innovation lab in Ontario, Canada, have undertaken various knowledge generation and action activities for the purpose of supporting youth mental health and wellbeing among transitional-age youth (ages 16–25). We describe the methodological and organizational approach employed in this undertaking, including aspects of the social innovation model to support the action components of Y-PAR. We draw on Bradbury-Huang’s (2010) seven choice points for quality in action research to structure this collective reflection. Our experiences illustrate the tensions and opportunities arising from housing a Y-PAR project within a large health services institution. We also note how social innovation lab processes can support the emancipatory aims of participatory research. Implications for using Y-PAR in other areas are included.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
