What
was the process of the project?
- The WHC team
commissioned a literature review on attachment practices across
cultures, which was conducted through the Social Planning and
Research Council of British Columbia (SPARC).
- In-depth
interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with parents
and service providers in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, the Waterloo
region, Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and Fredericton.
The
project collected information from:
- in-depth
individual interviews and focus group discussions with
133 immigrant and refugee parents (126 mothers
and 7 fathers) from 50 countries around the world.
- in-depth
individual interviews, and focus group discussions, with
20 service providers
- 50
responses to a call for resources sent out to service
providers across Canada.
|
- The interviews
were taped and transcribed. The transcripts were analyzed using
the software QSR NUD.IST.
- The major
themes that came out of the analysis, along with responses to
the resource call, were used to develop the practical resources
created by the project for the use of community, health, and social
service agencies across the country.
