Methods: Using a case study design and survey method, we assessed processes of co-implementation and co-evaluation grounded in our own experiences from the Co-Creating Safe Spaces project.

Methods: Using an instrumental case study approach, we examined the utility of a published systematic framework designed to improve clarity about co-creation as a concept and approach.
