Implication

Scoping review reveals multilevel protective and resilience factors for mental health among Indigenous youth, indicating the importance of community engagement.

Key Points

Summarize literature describing resilience and protective factors that promote mental health among Indigenous youth in Canada, and assess reported community involvement.
Followed JBI scoping review methodology across PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ERIC, Scopus, and grey literature searches updated through February 2023.
Identified and synthesized data from 61 eligible publications encompassing observational (n=22), participatory action research (n=11), mixed-methods (n=10), qualitative (n=9), and other study designs.
Protective and resilience factors were documented at the individual (n=52), interpersonal (n=37), and wider environmental (n=37) levels, though few studies utilized Indigenous-specific frameworks like Two-Eyed Seeing.
Community engagement was reported in 40 studies, involving youth (n=19), general community members (n=21), leaders and workers (n=14), and Elders (n=11) as collaborators, consultants, or decision-makers.
