Numerous conceptual frameworks have been developed to understand how community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships function, and multiple measurement approaches have been designed to evaluate them. However, most measures are not validated, and have focused on new partnerships. To define and assess the meaning of success in long-standing CBPR partnerships, we are conducting a CBPR study, Measurement Approaches to Partnership Success (MAPS). In this article we describe the theoretical underpinnings and methodological approaches used.
The objectives of this study are to 1) develop a questionnaire to evaluate success in long-standing CBPR partnerships, 2) test the psychometric qualities of the questionnaire, 3) assess the relationships between key variables and refine the questionnaire and theoretical model, and 4) develop mechanisms and a feedback tool to apply partnership evaluation findings.
Methodological approaches have included: engaged a community-academic national Expert Panel; conducted key informant interviews with Expert Panel; conducted a scoping literature review; conducted a Delphi process with the Expert Panel; and revised the measurement instrument. Additional methods include: conduct cognitive interviews and pilot testing; revise and test final version of the questionnaire with long-standing CBPR partnerships; examine the reliability and validity; analyze the relationship among variables in the framework; revise the framework; and develop a feedback mechanism for sharing partnership evaluation results.
Through the application of a theoretical model and multiple methodological approaches, the MAPS study will result in a validated measurement instrument and will develop procedures for effectively feeding back evaluation findings in order to strengthen authentic partnerships to achieve health equity.
已经开发出许多概念框架来理解基于社区的参与式研究 (CBPR) 伙伴关系如何运作，并设计了多种测量方法来对其进行评估。然而，大多数测量方法都没有经过验证，而且主要集中在新的伙伴关系上。为了定义和评估长期 CBPR 伙伴关系的成功意义，我们正在进行一项 CBPR 研究，即伙伴关系成功的测量方法 (MAPS)。在本文中，我们描述了所使用的理论基础和方法学方法。
本研究的目的是：1) 开发评估长期 CBPR 伙伴关系成功的问卷，2) 测试问卷的心理测量质量，3) 评估关键变量之间的关系并改进问卷和理论模型，以及 4) 开发机制和反馈工具以应用伙伴关系评估结果。
方法学方法包括：1) 聘请社区学术性全国专家小组；2) 对专家小组进行关键知情者访谈；3) 进行范围广泛的文献回顾；4) 对专家小组进行 Delphi 流程；5) 修订测量工具。其他方法包括：1) 进行认知访谈和试点测试；2) 对长期 CBPR 伙伴关系进行修订和测试最终版本的问卷；3) 检查框架中变量之间的可靠性和有效性；4) 分析框架中的关系；5) 修订框架；以及 6) 开发反馈机制以共享伙伴关系评估结果。
通过应用理论模型和多种方法学方法，MAPS 研究将产生一个经过验证的测量工具，并将开发出有效的反馈程序，以加强真实的伙伴关系，实现健康公平。
