Results for pathways to resilience research project
1 results foundAuthor: Sanders, Jackie Title: The Human Face of Vulnerability Summary: This is the third in a series of technical reports that outline research procedures and present the results from the New Zealand Pathways to Resilience Research Programme (see Report 2 for a methodological overview of the study). The research was funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation (now the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment) between 2008 and 2014. This report discusses the characteristics of a group of youth who completed a survey administered to 1494 youth during 2009 and 2010. Two populations of youth were surveyed: a group of multiple service users (MSU) recruited from organisations that provide formal support services to youth and a comparison group (CG) of youth who were recruited from schools, community programmes and organisations located in the communities from which the MSU youth were drawn. To be eligible to be included in the MSU category youth needed to have used two or more services within six months prior to completion of the survey. The services included: juvenile justice, child welfare, alternative or special education services, and mental health services. These services could be provided by either a statutory organisation or an NGO providing services under contract to government. The research programme has several distinct methodological components: - A survey of MSU and CG youth aged between 12 and 17 years; - A survey of adults nominated by MSU youth as knowing the most about them (PMK or person most knowledgeable); - Qualitative interviews with MSU youth and the PMK; - Reviews of case files held by a range of organisations that worked with a subsample of MSU youth. Taken together these four components constitute the Pathways to Resilience Study. The study builds upon and significantly extends the Canadian Pathways to Resilience study (http://resilienceproject.org/). The goal of the New Zealand study is to identify factors in service provision and youth ecologies that are related to functional outcomes (functional outcomes include; the ability to complete education, capacity to sustain positive peer group relations and to engage in prosocial behaviour for MSU youth). The current report considers the characteristics of the youth involved in the study. It thus focuses on data generated through the completion of the Pathways to Resilience Youth Measure (PRYM) survey instrument; a compilation of scales used in this study to assess risk, resilience, service use patterns and aspects of youth social ecologies.
