Social Work has a long history of community practice, but community practice models have been understudied. An important first step in conducting such studies is the establishment of psychometrically sound measures relevant for evaluations of community practice. In this paper, data are used from a community-randomized trial of Communities That Care (CTC), a coalition-based model of community practice shown to be effective at transforming communities and changing rates of youth problem behavior. Coalition functioning is reported by coalition members in 12 communities across intervention implementation phases. A four-dimensional model of coalition functioning (goal-directedness, efficiency, opportunities for participation, and cohesion) was confirmed using factor analysis and the dimensions were found to be invariant across time. One test of validity of these dimensions is conducted by correlating coalition members' ratings of coalition functioning with those of external observers.
社会工作有着悠久的社区实践历史，但社区实践模式一直未得到充分研究。开展此类研究的重要第一步是建立与社区实践评估相关的心理测量学上可靠的测量方法。在本文中，数据来自一项社区随机试验，该试验涉及“关爱社区”（CTC），这是一种基于联盟的社区实践模式，已被证明在改造社区和改变青少年问题行为发生率方面有效。在干预实施阶段，联盟成员在12个社区中报告了联盟的运作情况。通过因子分析确认了联盟运作的四维模型（目标导向性、效率、参与机会和凝聚力），并且发现这些维度在不同时间是不变的。通过将联盟成员对联盟运作的评分与外部观察者的评分进行关联，对这些维度的有效性进行了一项检验。
