Evidence in majority White and low-population areas suggest that community prevention systems can create social capital that is needed to support high-quality implementation and sustainability of evidence-based programs. This study expands prior work by asking the question: How does community social capital change during the implementation of a community prevention system in low-income, highly populated communities of color? Data were collected from Community Board members and Key Leaders in five communities. Linear mixed effect models analyzed data on reports of social capital over time, first as reported by Community Board members then by Key Leaders. Community Board members reported social capital improved significantly over time during the implementation of the Evidence2Success framework. Key Leader reports did not change significantly over time. These findings suggest that community prevention systems implemented in historically marginalized communities may help communities build social capital that is likely to support the dissemination and sustainability of evidence-based programs.
在以白人和人口较少地区为主的大多数情况下，有证据表明，社区预防系统可以创造社会资本，这是支持高质量实施和可持续性循证项目所必需的。本研究通过提出以下问题扩展了先前的工作：在低收入、以有色人种为主的人口稠密社区实施社区预防系统期间，社区社会资本如何变化？数据来自五个社区的社区委员会成员和主要领导人。线性混合效应模型分析了随时间报告的社会资本数据，首先由社区委员会成员报告，然后由主要领导人报告。社区委员会成员报告说，在实施“证据 2 成功”框架期间，社会资本随着时间的推移显著提高。主要领导人的报告在随时间的推移没有显著变化。这些发现表明，在历史上被边缘化的社区实施的社区预防系统可能有助于社区建立社会资本，这可能支持循证项目的传播和可持续性。
