Abstract

SIGNIFICANCE

The Pacific Regional Cancer Coalition (PRCC) provides regional leadership in the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) to implement the Regional Comprehensive Control Plan: 2007-2012, and to evaluate its coalition and partnerships. The Pacific Center of Excellence in the Elimination of Disparities (CEED), aims to reduce cancer disparities and conducts evaluation activities relevant to cancer prevention and control in the USAPI.

PURPOSE

The PRCC Self (internal) and Partner (external) Assessments were conducted to assess coalition functioning, regional and national partnerships, sustainability, and the role of regionalism for integrating all chronic disease prevention and control in the Pacific.

METHODS

Self-administered questionnaires and key informant telephone interviews with PRCC members (N=20), and representatives from regional and national partner organizations were administered (N=26). Validated multi item measures using 5-point scales on coalition and partnership characteristics were used. Chronbach's alphas and averages for the measures were computed.

RESULTS

Internal coalition measures: satisfaction (4.2, SD=0.48) communication (4.0, SD=0.56), respect (4.0, SD=0.60) were rated more highly than external partnership measures: resource sharing (3.5, SD=0.74), regionalism (3.9, SD=0.47), use of findings (3.9, SD=0.50). The PRCC specifically identified its level of "collaboration" with external partners including Pacific CEED. External partners identified its partnership with the PRCC in the "coalition" stage.

PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS

PRCC members and external partners are satisfied with their partnerships. All groups should continue to focus on building collaboration with partners to reflect a truly regional approach to sustain the commitment, the coalitions and the programming to reduce cancer in the USAPI. PRCC and partners should also work together to integrate all chronic disease prevention and control efforts in the Pacific.

摘要

意义

太平洋地区癌症联盟（PRCC）在美国附属太平洋岛屿（USAPI）发挥区域领导作用，以实施《2007 - 2012年区域综合控制计划》，并评估其联盟及伙伴关系。太平洋消除差异卓越中心（CEED）旨在减少癌症差异，并开展与USAPI癌症预防和控制相关的评估活动。

目的

开展PRCC自我（内部）和伙伴（外部）评估，以评估联盟运作、区域和国家伙伴关系、可持续性以及区域主义在整合太平洋地区所有慢性病预防和控制方面的作用。

方法

对PRCC成员（N = 20）以及区域和国家伙伴组织的代表（N = 26）进行了自填式问卷调查和关键 informant 电话访谈。使用了经过验证的、采用5分制衡量联盟和伙伴关系特征的多项目测量方法。计算了测量指标的克朗巴哈系数和平均值。

结果

内部联盟指标：满意度（4.2，标准差 = 0.48）、沟通（4.0，标准差 = 0.56）、尊重（4.0，标准差 = 0.60）的评分高于外部伙伴关系指标：资源共享（3.5，标准差 = 0.74）、区域主义（3.9，标准差 = 0.47）、研究结果利用（3.9，标准差 = 0.50）。PRCC特别确定了其与包括太平洋CEED在内的外部伙伴的“合作”水平。外部伙伴确定了其在“联盟”阶段与PRCC的伙伴关系。
