The PtRP was a national mixed methods investigation of the factors that were related to positive outcomes for youth who were involved in multiple service systems (MSU youth). Data was collected between 2009 and 2013. The research used an ecological approach examining the contributions of resilience, risks and service factors to positive outcomes. This paper considers the responses to a series of questions of a matched set (n = 439) of youth and persons most knowledgeable (PMK) drawing on data from interviews completed between 2009 and 2012. The PMK were people nominated by youth because they knew the youth best at the time of the interview and the youth trusted them to answer questions about their lives. The wider study involved 1494 young people and the 439 PMK. The measures used in this analysis are described in the Appendix. The research was approved by the Massey University Human Ethics Committee prior to any data collection commencing. This paper addresses these questions: 1. Are there differences between youth who could and who could not nominate a PMK? 2. What are the similarities and differences on key measures used in the study between the PMK as a group and youth as a group? 3. Do different types of PMK share similar views to the youth about whom they answered questions? 4. What areas of similarity and difference are there between the different types of PMK on key measures used in the study? Details: Auckland, NZ: Massey University, 2013. 68p.
