Community coalitions are prominent mechanisms for building local capacities to address health and social concerns. Although there are case studies and descriptive reports on coalitions, there is little empirical information about coalition process and outcome. This paper describes a case study using a methodology for monitoring and evaluating community health coalitions. Data are fed back to coalition leaders and members, funding agents, and other relevant audiences as part of the development process. The monitoring system provides data on eight key measures of coalition process and outcome: the number of members, planning products, financial resources generated, dollars obtained, volunteers recruited, services provided, community actions and community changes. Illustrative data are presented for two different community health coalitions. Finally, challenges and opportunities in evaluating community coalitions are discussed.
社区联盟是建设地方能力以解决健康和社会问题的重要机制。尽管有关于联盟的案例研究和描述性报告，但关于联盟过程和结果的实证信息却很少。本文描述了一个使用监测和评估社区健康联盟方法的案例研究。作为发展过程的一部分，数据会反馈给联盟领导人和成员、资助机构及其他相关受众。该监测系统提供有关联盟过程和结果的八项关键指标的数据：成员数量、规划成果、产生的财政资源、获得的资金、招募的志愿者、提供的服务、社区行动和社区变化。文中给出了两个不同社区健康联盟的说明性数据。最后，讨论了评估社区联盟时面临的挑战和机遇。
