Acknowledgements
This report was prepared by J. Douglas Willms, with the help of Rick Audas, Shawn Dalton, and George Frempong. The author is grateful to the staff of the Applied Research Branch for comments on drafts of this report; and to Sarah Connor, whose report on the UEY project in North York (the prototype community) provided a useful starting point. The author is pleased to acknowledge Sharon Park, the community research co-ordinator for Southwestern Newfoundland, who provided demographic highlights, maps of Southwestern Newfoundland, and information on local services and resources. Without Ms. Parks assistance, the study would not have been possible.
The author would also like to thank Magdalena Janus for her feedback on the EDI analysis. Magdalena Janus, along with Dan Offord and the Canadian Centre for Studies of Children at Risk, developed the EDI described in the first chapter of this report.
