Participatory research with street-involved youth in the Youth Injection Prevention Project (YIP)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Youth participation in research has become increasingly popular, though there is still a paucity of examples in the literature that offer insight into the challenges and opportunities that such an endeavour offers.This is particularly true of research that includes street-involved populations of youth.This paper explores the experiences of six youth in the Youth Injection Prevention Project (YIP), a community-based research project with street-involved youth in the Metro Vancouver Region, using a positive youth development approach and a resiliency and empowerment framework.Although there were many challenges to the collaboration, including issues of time commitment and expenditure as well as overcoming youth's personal barriers to participation, the results of the YIP project demonstrate that meaningful participation in research can offer youth important avenues to develop employability skills, promote resiliency, empowerment and wellness.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
