The public health community faces numerous challenges in measuring community preparedness and resilience. This study aimed to identify existing measures of partnership, self-sufficiency, and social connectedness, as well as gaps and opportunities in the measurement of community preparedness and resilience. To accomplish these aims, the study team conducted a broad environmental scan to identify a list of possible measures in these areas and then assessed these measures using a set of standard criteria and feedback from key informants. Results suggest that while there is great interest in quantifying community preparedness, existing data have major limitations. There is a need for more measures of organizational and network activity and measures in the area of community engagement and empowerment.
公共卫生界在衡量社区准备度和恢复力方面面临着众多挑战。本研究旨在确定现有的伙伴关系、自给自足和社会联系的衡量标准,以及社区准备度和恢复力衡量方面的差距和机遇。为了实现这些目标,研究小组进行了广泛的环境扫描,以确定这些领域可能的衡量标准清单,然后使用一套标准标准和关键信息提供者的反馈来评估这些衡量标准。研究结果表明,虽然人们对量化社区准备度很感兴趣,但现有数据存在重大局限性。需要更多衡量组织和网络活动的措施,以及社区参与和赋权方面的措施。
