For Inuvialuit communities in and around the lower Mackenzie Delta, in the western Canadian Arctic, recent changes in the population of beavers (Castor canadensis) have disrupted subsistence harvesting activities and travelling routes, exacerbating stresses linked to the cost of living and increasing the exposure of active harvesters to risk. Drawing on interviews with 25 Inuvialuit knowledge holders from the three communities of Inuvik, Tuktoyaktuk, and Aklavik, we investigated concerns around beaver population change in the western Arctic and the impact of this change on Inuvialuit livelihoods and wellbeing. Beyond the direct impact of beavers, the issues associated with ecosystem transformation pose challenges for Inuvialuit collective identity, the continuity of knowledge and connections to the land. While beaver population change was widely attributed to the local effects of a warming climate, participants also pointed to the effects of social transformations over recent decades. Ecological changes interact with social factors to produce complex and wide-ranging consequences for Indigenous communities.","PeriodicalId":13192,"journal":{"name":"Human Ecology","volume":"55 2","pages":"21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2027-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13541832/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148897183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This universalist assumption may be unwarranted for complex social programs, where context shapes effectiveness. This study examines generalizability using 15 cash transfer programs evaluated across 12 Middle Eastern and North African countries through four complementary approaches: leave-one-out cross-validation, permutation tests, equivalence testing, and fragility indices. Leave-one-out analysis demonstrates robust stability, with 100% of key relationships maintaining a magnitude within 25% of full-sample estimates. The correlation between transfer size and poverty reduction (r = 0.711, p < .001) shows strong consistency, and permutation tests yield p = .001, indicating genuine signals rather than chance patterns. Equivalence testing reveals that programs with nearly identical designs can produce statistically distinguishable outcomes, with confidence intervals excluding practical equivalence in 67% of matched comparisons. Fragility indices of 2 to 3 for most relationships indicate moderate robustness. These findings suggest that some design-outcome relationships show stability while context matters substantially for program effectiveness. This study offers methodological tools for assessing evidence robustness in small-sample comparative research and argues for epistemic humility in cross-context predictions.","PeriodicalId":47533,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Review","volume":" ","pages":"1094-1139"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148449967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 22 parents participated in weekly sessions facilitated by peer specialists with prior child welfare involvement. Quantitative assessments measured changes in psychosocial functioning and engagement in child welfare services, while semi-structured interviews (n = 8) explored participant perceptions of group processes and benefits. Significant decreases were observed in depression, trauma, and loneliness, alongside increases in perceived emotional support. Thematic analysis identified four interrelated themes that informed an empirically grounded conceptual framework describing the functions and benefits of support groups.This evaluation study demonstrates how mixed-methods approaches can yield actionable evidence from small scale community-based interventions and offers insight into the mechanisms that may inform future implementation and evaluation of peer-led models.","PeriodicalId":47533,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Review","volume":" ","pages":"1034-1059"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148309946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their complexity, regression analyses confirm the benefits of novel sources and combinations of interdisciplinary knowledge. The higher coordination and communication costs of interdisciplinary collaboration are offset by the potential of the new knowledge generated. Interdisciplinary collaboration is associated with higher performance among female scholars, contributing to increased recognition and reputation.

The limited availability of Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) and other affordable housing assistance restricts the ability to address US national housing needs; millions more households qualify for HCVs than receive them. Those with HCVs encounter challenges in using vouchers in so-called high-opportunity areas. To address the dearth of HCVs and difficulty using them, a collaboration between faculty at Ohio State University and the community developed a new housing mobility program to increase the affordable housing supply, engaging stakeholders to understand the needs of low-income renters who are less likely to obtain an HCV. This paper outlines the Families Flourish program's development using both developmental and formative evaluations, examining the progress of the implementation and immediate outcomes using mixed methods. The developmental evaluation process required collaboration with a wide variety of stakeholders, partners, and the project team. According to the formative evaluation of the pilot program, participants' experiences suggested that enhanced housing security was associated with improvements in physical and mental health for parents and their children, and that a more stable and safe neighborhood environment was similarly associated with gains in employment, education, and income. Throughout the process of evaluation, particularly the developmental evaluation, the evaluator's communication and collaboration skills were essential to the methodology. The study concludes with lessons learned, as well as recommendations for policy and directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":47533,"journal":{"name":"Evaluation Review","volume":" ","pages":"1140-1190"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13672924/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148473117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
