Abstrakt:	Objective: To evaluate the impact of a youth-led nutrition intervention on youth-leaders themselves. Design: Mixed methods, including: in-depth interviews and a quasi-experimental quantitative study comparing youth-leaders and nonparticipant comparison youth. Analysis: Qualitative analysis using direct content analysis. Difference-in-differences analyses assessing quantitative program impact. Results: Youth-leaders perceived that the intervention impacted themselves, the youth-participants, and their respective social networks. Youth-leaders experienced greater increases in intentions to eat healthfully (p=0.04), and greater decreases in support for healthy eating from their friends (p=0.01), than the comparison group. Conclusions/implications: Youth-leaders reported multiple levels of intervention impact, and increased intentions for healthy eating; however, additional research is needed to enhance impact on behavioral outcomes. Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest Statement: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest..
