They will also jointly disseminate results via community-based publications and conferences. Agency size and research capacity: We used four distinct measures of agency size/ capacity.

Two coders with extensive front-line work experience independently coded the data until saturation occurred and no new themes emerged (Charmaz, 2000), using well-established procedures for thematic analysis (Neuendorf, 2002).
