Description

The goals of the Youth Wellbeing Program focus on reducing the incidence of petrol sniffing by enhancing community capacity and increasing opportunities for young people. There are three key areas that were assessed as part of this evaluation of the Youth Wellbeing Program, including the appropriateness, effectiveness and overall efficiency of the program. The research was conducted during a time of considerable change within Central Australia, as the Australian Government had commenced the Emergency Intervention. While stakeholders were very willing to participate in the research, these changes had an impact on timing, as site visits were delayed due to the intervention., Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
