[...] The integrated results are then communicated to the Community and the University in a number of ways to ensure that research makes a difference in the development of services, implementation of policy, and lives of the people of Saskatoon and Saskatchewan. [...] The conclusion of the analysis is that these programs do not take into consideration the diverse needs of people on assistance, and that job searches are not quick fixes to a challenging labour market and a provincial social system that does not readily promote the health and well-being of its recipients. [...] While the previous report was based on the researcher’s knowledge and work, the analysis in this report is the work of both the Coalition and community members, and was collected using a group analysis method.
