The Co-produced Pathway to Impact Describes Knowledge Mobilization Processes

Knowledge mobilization supports research collaborations between university and community partners which can maximize the impacts of research beyond the academy; however, models of knowledge mobilization are complex and create challenges for monitoring research impacts. This inability to sufficiently evaluate is particularly problematic for large collaborative research networks involving multiple partners and research institutions. The Co-produced Pathway to Impact simplifies many of the complex models of knowledge mobilization. It is a logic model based framework for mapping the progress of research -\u3e dissemination -\u3e uptake -\u3e implementation -\u3e impact. This framework is illustrated using collaborative research projects from Promoting Relationships and Eliminating Violence Network (PREVNet), a pan-Canadian community-university network engaging in knowledge mobilization to promote healthy relationships among children and youth and prevent bullying. The Co-produced Pathway to Impact illustrates that research impact occurs when university researchers collaborate with non-academic partners who produce the products, policies, and services that have impacts on the lives of end beneficiaries. Research impact is therefore measured at the level of non-academic partners and identified by surveying research partners to create narrative case studies of research impact

‘Community Mobilization for Violence Prevention and Wellness with Indigenous Communities in Canada’

For over 30 years, the Canadian Red Cross has been invited into Indigenous communities in Canada to support them in mobilizing to prevent violence and promote wellness. Over the past 12 years, we have collaborated with eleven Indigenous communities to understand community mobilization processes in moving from the violence of colonialism to wellness. Based on knowledge shared by communities, we have developed a Community Journey to Wellness model, a Starting Place Story resource, a timeline of harms experienced by Indigenous communities over the past 500 years, and community mobilization programming. We are eager to describe our learning through this collaborative research with communities and to learn about the Australian experiences in walking alongside Indigenous communities

Community Journey of Change Through Relational Determinants of Health

This article describes a model that maps Indigenous communities’ journeys from the cycle of violence arising from colonization to the circle of wellness through relational determinants of health. This model emerged from learning with Indigenous communities participating in research on violence prevention programming with the Canadian Red Cross. Indigenous communities have shown us that they are returning to a place of thriving by restoring relationality with land, culture, ceremony, and language. Therefore, the relational determinants of health comprise the foundational relationships that contribute to wellness. The Community Journey of Change model represents actions that communities can undertake in moving to wellness. The model has implications for policies, programs, and services for Indigenous communities as they begin to restore health and wellness

Laying the Groundwork: A Practical Guide for Ethical Research with Indigenous Communities

Although there are numerous ethical guidelines for research with Indigenous communities, not all research is conducted in an ethical, culturally respectful, and effective way. To address this gap, we review four ethical frameworks for research with Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Drawing upon our experiences conducting a transformative social justice research project in five Indigenous communities, we discuss the ethical tensions we have encountered and how we have attempted to address these challenges. Finally, drawing on these experiences, we make recommendations to support those planning to conduct research with Indigenous Peoples in Canada. We discuss the importance of training to highlight the intricacies and nuances of bringing the ethical guidelines to life through co-created research with Indigenous communities

Community-Based Research: Perspectives of Psychology Researchers and Community Partners

There is now a growing understanding that translational research must be co-created in collaboration with community partners and that solutions to real-world social problems require stepping outside the academic silo. Fewer than half of psychology programs in Canada, however, offer courses in community-based research or evaluation, leaving a gap in skill development amongst the next generation of scholars. In an effort to partially fill this learning gap, the current paper provides insights into lessons learned from the perspectives of researchers and community partners alike, who have been mutually engaging in community-based research over the last 25 years. Ultimately this paper seeks to provide a roadmap for conducting community-based research and illustrates why it should be a central component to research seeking to answer critical questions in psychological science. First, we provide a conceptual foundation of community-based research. Next, using three specific community-based research projects as examples, we share the challenges and benefits of conducting research in the community context. Finally, we highlight future directions for increasing the uptake of community-based research in Canada

Développement des Indicateurs pour la Prévention des Blessures chez les Enfants et les Jeunes des Premières Nations au Canada

Les indicateurs de blessure chez les enfants et les jeunes des Premières Nations et Inuits sont d’importants outils pour influencer les politiques et mesurer certains aspects particuliers à la communauté relatifs à la santé et au bien‐être dans le contexte des Premières Nations. Ce projet a donc eu pour objet de développer une série d’indicateurs pouvant servir à surveiller et à évaluer la santé des enfants et des jeunes des Premières Nations canadiennes et leurs familles, plus particulièrement les blessures et la prévention des blessures.Medicine, Faculty ofNon UBCPediatrics, Department ofUnreviewedFacult

Developing Injury Prevention Indicators for First Nations Children & Youth in Canada

First Nations and Inuit children and youth indicators are important tools to influence policy and to measure community‐specific aspects of health and wellness in a First Nations context. As a result, this project’s purpose was to develop a set of indicators that can be used to monitor and evaluate the health of Canadian First Nations children, youth and their families in relation to injury and injury prevention.Medicine, Faculty ofNon UBCPediatrics, Department ofUnreviewedFacult

The GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017 (IDP2017) is the second publicly available data product of the international GEOTRACES programme, and contains data measured and quality controlled before the end of 2016. The IDP2017 includes data from the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Southern and Indian oceans, with about twice the data volume of the previous IDP2014. For the first time, the IDP2017 contains data for a large suite of biogeochemical parameters as well as aerosol and rain data characterising atmospheric trace element and isotope (TEI) sources. The TEI data in the IDP2017 are quality controlled by careful assessment of intercalibration results and multi-laboratory data comparisons at crossover stations. The IDP2017 consists of two parts: (1) a compilation of digital data for more than 450 TEIs as well as standard hydrographic parameters, and (2) the eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas providing an on-line atlas that includes more than 590 section plots and 130 animated 3D scenes. The digital data are provided in several formats, including ASCII, Excel spreadsheet, netCDF, and Ocean Data View collection. Users can download the full data packages or make their own custom selections with a new on-line data extraction service. In addition to the actual data values, the IDP2017 also contains data quality flags and 1-σ data error values where available. Quality flags and error values are useful for data filtering and for statistical analysis. Metadata about data originators, analytical methods and original publications related to the data are linked in an easily accessible way. The eGEOTRACES Electronic Atlas is the visual representation of the IDP2017 as section plots and rotating 3D scenes. The basin-wide 3D scenes combine data from many cruises and provide quick overviews of large-scale tracer distributions. These 3D scenes provide geographical and bathymetric context that is crucial for the interpretation and assessment of tracer plumes near ocean margins or along ridges. The IDP2017 is the result of a truly international effort involving 326 researchers from 25 countries. This publication provides the critical reference for unpublished data, as well as for studies that make use of a large cross-section of data from the IDP2017.
