Read it in context

The study evaluated Oxford House in a specific population. It is not evidence of New Roots outcomes, certification, or the effectiveness of every residence.

Research can describe patterns across groups without predicting one person’s experience. Guidance can explain a program without demonstrating its effectiveness. We identify the source type so you can tell those contributions apart.
