In partnership with a youth advisory committee (YAC) and team of peer researchers, this CIHR-funded project validated the efficacy of Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research’s youth sexual health and harm reduction resource “Sexfluent”. CCBR worked alongside CANFAR and York University as a research partner on this research, and provided YAC coaching, peer researcher training, and analysis support.

Located at Parkdale Queen West Community Health Centre, the Trip! project is a youth-led harm reduction information service for the dance music scene and youth who use drugs. CCBR partnered with stakeholders to conduct a community-based evaluation that explored how well the program model aligned with:1) current drug using trends amongst youth; and 2) PQWCHC’s values, vision, & mission.

CCBR worked with UW D.I.R.E.C.T.I.O.N.S, a post-secondary information and career readiness conference for Indigenous Youth across Ontario sponsored by St. Paul’s University College. CCBR’s mandate was to: strengthen conference tracking, engage Indigenous youth who participate in the conference, and evaluate its effectiveness.

CCBR designed and implemented an ongoing tracking and evaluation system for a multi-service program for youth based in a Mississauga mall. Our evaluation focused on the outcomes for youth and for participating agencies. The work was funded by Rapport Youth and Family Services.
