Summary: This is a report of collaborative research project involving members associated with NAYSPS-funded community projects. Four sites were selected on the basis of the extent to whic they might be expected to have individual and community-level impact and variation in geographical region. The sites were located in Alberta (Hobbema), Saskatchewan (Battlefords Tribal Council Indian Health Service), Quebec (Uashat mak Mani-utenam) and Labrador (Nunatsiavut). The study designs were all quite similar with each study relying on multiple sources of information and evidence. Given that most sites had not been collecting evaluation or project monitoring information over time, the designs were limited to retrospective cross-sectional explorations of processes and impacts. While the studies used fairly traditional approaches to gathering data (e.g. questionnaires, interviews, focus groups) they were well informed by cultural wisdom and local knowledge. A two-day central workshop was held in order to collaboratively plan and set expectations for the studies. Two over-arching objectives for the multiple case study were identified: understanding the impact of NAYSPS-funded projects on community, youth etc. and understanding project implementation strengths/weaknesses and possibilities for improvement.
