This paper presents a mixed-method approach to measuring the functioning of Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) Initiative partnerships. The SS/HS national evaluation team developed a survey to collect partners' perceptions of functioning within SS/HS partnerships. Average partnership functioning scores were used to rank each site from lowest to highest. Sites with the most favorable perceptions of partnership functioning were defined as having average scores in the top 10% (n=10) and sites with the least favorable perceptions of partnership functioning were defined as having average scores in the bottom 10% (n=10). Qualitative data for these 20 sites were inductively open coded for emergent themes and analyzed for patterns using grounded theory approach. Six themes emerged that distinguished sites reporting the most favorable and least favorable perceptions of partnership functioning: partner engagement, facilitators, barriers, shared decision making, partnership structure, and sustainability. Sites reporting the most favorable perceptions of partnership functioning effectively utilized collaboration processes that facilitate coalition building, such as shared decision making, effective communication, and developing a clearly defined structure. Qualitative themes from this analysis provide evidence of validity for the partnership functioning scale used and illustrate distinguishing features between sites with the most favorable and least favorable perceptions of partnership functioning.
本文介绍了一种混合方法，用于衡量“安全学校/健康学生”（SS/HS）倡议伙伴关系的运作情况。SS/HS国家评估团队开发了一项调查，以收集伙伴对SS/HS伙伴关系中运作情况的看法。伙伴关系运作的平均得分用于对每个地点从低到高进行排名。对伙伴关系运作看法最积极的地点被定义为平均得分在前10%（n = 10）的地点，而对伙伴关系运作看法最消极的地点被定义为平均得分在后10%（n = 10）的地点。对这20个地点的定性数据进行归纳开放式编码，以找出新出现的主题，并采用扎根理论方法分析模式。出现了六个主题，这些主题区分了对伙伴关系运作看法最积极和最消极的地点：伙伴参与、促进者、障碍、共同决策、伙伴关系结构和可持续性。对伙伴关系运作看法最积极的地点有效地利用了促进联盟建设的协作过程，如共同决策、有效沟通和建立明确的结构。该分析中的定性主题为所使用的伙伴关系运作量表的有效性提供了证据，并说明了对伙伴关系运作看法最积极和最消极的地点之间的显著特征。
