Over the past decade, a solid body of research has been conducted on the processes and outcomes of youth and adults working together on evaluation projects. The Youth-Adult Partnerships in Evaluation (Y-AP/E): A Resource Guide for Translating Research into Practice provides an annotated bibliography of this research. Building from the research, this Resource Guide offers: a series of “tip sheets” that identify the leverage points most critical to the success of youth-adult partnerships in evaluation, a comprehensive list of data analysis strategies, and recommended reading for field practitioners.
