We use a community based participatory research approach to examine the processes of collaboration and communication, as well as the relational interactions of one community focused health promotion coalition, the Community Faces of Utah (CFU). We assess the evolution, structure, successes, and challenges of the coalition, comprised of five distinct cultural communities, a state health department, and a university. Researchers from the university collaborated with the coalition to find that CFU is an equitable, collaborative partnership of diverse leaders that functions successfully. Shared values and trusting relationships emerged over time, forming the basis for group interaction. A community liaison to facilitate interaction and collaboration was an essential element of the success of this partnership. The experience of CFU can guide other multi-sectoral partnerships in developing functionality consistent with achieving community driven objectives.
我们采用基于社区的参与式研究方法，来审视协作与沟通的过程，以及一个专注于社区健康促进的联盟——犹他州社区面孔（CFU）的关系互动。我们评估了这个由五个不同文化社区、一个州卫生部门和一所大学组成的联盟的演变、结构、成功之处及面临的挑战。大学的研究人员与该联盟合作，发现CFU是一个由不同领导者组成的公平、协作的伙伴关系，运作成功。随着时间推移，共同价值观和信任关系得以形成，构成了群体互动的基础。一名促进互动与协作的社区联络人是这一伙伴关系成功的关键要素。CFU的经验可为其他多部门伙伴关系在发展与实现社区驱动目标相一致的功能方面提供指导。
