Objective: The aim of this study is to explore young people’s attitudes toward various PPI principles to find ways of making digital instantiations of them more engaging. Methods: We conducted an explorative workshop with 30 young people (aged 16-21 years). They rated and reviewed 29 common PPIs. Ratings and recorded discussions were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Some interventions were conflicting with young people’s values or perceived as too difficult. Participants responded positively to interventions that fit them personally and allowed them to use their strengths. Conclusions: Values, context, strengths, and other personal factors are entangled with young people’s attitudes toward digital instantiations of PPI principles. %M 33164908 %R 10.2196/21145 %U http://humanfactors.jmir.org/2020/4/e21145/ %U https://doi.org/10.2196/21145 %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/33164908
