“…The resource focuses on four key themes: Connection to culture; Care for self, others, and country; Walking in two worlds; and Leadership. Third, we engaged the Centre for Excellence in Therapeutic Care (CETC) to develop the ‘Shooting Stars Way’ practice framework, which aims to provide a clearly articulated, overarching approach to the delivery of the Shooting Stars program which embeds a trauma-informed way of meeting the support needs of young women in the program (Mitchell & Howlett, 2022). The Shooting Stars Way practice framework is drawn from collective knowledge and wisdom gathered from the successful yarning process, as well as yarning circles facilitated by CETC researchers with Shooting Stars staff, Shooting Stars participants, and their families and communities (Mitchell & Howlett, 2022, p. 9).…”

Education and engagement programs for Aboriginal young people tend to propagate Western, colonial paradigms: Aboriginal populations are targeted, yet Aboriginal voices are rarely heard throughout the planning, delivery, and evaluation stages of program implementation. It is essential that the voices of program participants – and the communities within which these programs serve – are provided a platform to determine what those outcomes are to be, and how they are to be achieved. Shooting Stars is a holistic engagement program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls based in 20 remote and regional schools in Western Australia and South Australia. Shooting Stars staff (85% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) facilitate yarning circles with program participants, local steering committees, and broader community groups in order to tailor program delivery to local needs and assess the effectiveness of the program. From 2020 to 2021, we yarned with our participants, communities, and localised steering committees about their definitions of success and how Shooting Stars can help to grow successful young women. In this article, we explore a complex, multidimensional definition of success defined by program participants and their communities, and describe how we are reflecting and implementing this definition across program delivery and evaluation.

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to pilot test the effectiveness of reminders versus no intervention for increasing the number of translated Cochrane plain language summaries (PLSs) among volunteer translators.Study designParallel-group randomised controlled trial.SettingCochrane Croatia translation project.ParticipantsAdults who volunteered to translate Cochrane PLSs within the Cochrane Croatia translation project.InterventionThe participants were randomly allocated to intervention (receiving up to four bi-weekly email reminders to translate PLSs) or control group (no intervention).Primary outcomeThe number of translated PLSs within the 6-month trial period.ResultsWe included 80 participants. The median number of translated PLSs after 6 months was 9 in the intervention group (95% CI 2.0 to 15.0) and 4 in the control group (95% CI 2.9 to 7.0), but this was not significantly different (p=0.181, Mann-Whitney U test). There was no difference between the groups in the number of translations after 3 months, the average time-to-translation after 3 or 6 months, or the satisfaction at the end of the study period. The number of reminders received and the number of translated summaries were negatively correlated (r=−0.50; 95% CI −0.70 to −0.22).ConclusionsOur pilot trial showed that reminders do not seem to be significantly effective in increasing the number of PLS translations. Future studies could explore whether different frequency, timing and content of reminders have an influence on an increase in the engagement among volunteer translators of evidence synthesis.Trial registrationNCT03534791.
