Fwd: measuring effectiveness of community prevention coalitions

[Jane Powers <jlp5@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would recommend that you take a look at the work of Dr. Roz Lasker from
the New York Academy of Medicine. She and her colleagues have done
extensive work in the study and measurement of collaboration. See for
example, Lasker, R.D., E.S. Weiss, and R.
Miller.  2001.  Partnership Synergy:  A Practical
Framework for Studying and Strengthening the Collaborative
Advantage.  The Milbank Quarterly 79(2), 179-205.  She
and her colleagues have developed a number of assessment tools -- for
further information, contact: Elisa S. Weiss, Ph.D.,Associate
Director Center for the Advancement of Collaborative Strategies in
Health, The New York Academy of Medicine, 1216 Fifth Avenue, Rm. 452, New
York, New York, 10029   Ph 212-822-7251, EMAIL:

> I'm assisting a community coalition in assessing the
> effectiveness of its prevention efforts.  Part of what we want to
> examine are the structures and processes of the coalition itself.  I
> plan on doing key informant interviews, but would also like to have some
> quantitative measures of coalition effort and effectiveness. I have one
> prototype survey that is supposed to measure different dimensions of
> "collaboration,"   but I would be interested in
> learning of others.  Does any one have experience evaluating
> collaborative community based prevention efforts?  Can you recommend
> survey instruments that look at various dimensions of the
> coalition-building effort, such as inclusiveness, communication and
> coordination, shared commitment and purpose, leadership and systems
> change.  Thanks much for any advice or resources you can
> suggest.
