Abstract
In a time of limited resources, communities are turning to collaborations and partnerships with other organizations to provide services for children, youth, and families-at-risk. Evaluating such community programs can prove challenging. This article presents qualitative research methods used to evaluate one collaborative effort. The Community Systemwide Response Initiative in Indiana partners Extension personnel and judges with juvenile court jurisdiction. A discussion is provided on the benefits and challenges of using qualitative research methods in multi-site collaborative youth-at-risk programs.
