This paper describes a community-based participatory research approach to implement YouthCHAT in a rural clinic in New Zealand. Modifications to the programme were developed using an iterative process involving clinicians and patients. Electronic YouthCHAT data were collated and descriptive statistics produced. Quantitative data from post-consultation youth surveys were analysed, with thematic analyses undertaken of free text responses and staff interviews. A generic implementation framework was developed with modifiable components. YouthCHAT is a youth programme for electronic screening and intervention for lifestyle risk factors and mental health issues, including abuse and unwanted sex. (From the abstract). Record #5244
