Elements that support or inhibit partnership functioning, including innovative community-based participatory evaluation (CBPE) techniques, are explored. The contribution of the approach in improving the situation of Quebec’s minority language communities with respect to their health care access is highlighted.
Keywords:
- official language minority communities,
- intersectoral partnerships,
