Phase Three - Feedback and Reporting

Upon completing the preliminary analysis of the qualitative interviews, we brought the LCs, interviewers and facilitators together with two members of the research team in each city to provide input on the data analysis from their experiences and ongoing Local Reference Group discussions ("Feeback Workshops"). They helped integrate empirical and analytical research that appears in this report.

In addition, we held a second Regional Advisory Committee Workshop on October 24, 2005 to bring together the Local Coordinators and one member of each of the Local Reference Groups with the Research Team in Halifax.  The meeting focused on further feedback to our Final Report, the need for continuing public education, strategies on the local and national levels, policy recommendations, the project’s website under construction and the reaffirmation of the project’s continuation.  With the research completed, the project moves more pointedly to its community education phase.  Thus, built into the integrated project is an important component of disseminating the research to our community partners throughout the Atlantic Canada region.
