Delphi Process of Research and Policy Intervention for Refugee Children and Youth

Abstract

This report outlines that process and the results from it. The project was developed and carried out by Dr. Howard Ramos, Serperi Sevgur and Dr. Patrick McGrath of Dalhousie University. The report first offers an overview of how the Delphi process works and the methodology used, followed by results from the first phase in which research and policy statements were identified and themes were generated, then the second phase which rated and ranked those statements or themes to help identify key areas of intervention and advocacy. We conclude by highlighting recommendations on next steps for research and policy development for the CYRRC and other researchers, organizations, and policy-makers to pursue.
