Partnership Tools and Resources

Through use of these tools and resources on our Engage for Equity website (https://engageforequity.org) and on this UNM CPR website, our hope is to encourage a national community of practice that strengthens our capacities to partner effectively in ways that honor the voice and contributions of all participants, and that best promotes knowledge democracy and health equity.

Project Overview: For an overview of our project, the study aims, methods and benefits, you can view and download our fact sheet.

Partnership Evaluation and Reflection Instruments:

• Key Informant Survey/Encuesta de Informante Llave: The web-based Key Informant Survey (KIS) is completed by the Principal Investigator (PI). This survey features questions related to project-level facts, such as funding, years of partnering, partner member demographics, etc.
• Community Engaged Survey/Spanish Version: The web-based Community Engaged Survey (CES) is completed by the PI and community and academic research partners. This survey includes understanding perceptions of partnering quality, such as trust, power-sharing, governance, and multiple CBPR and health outcomes. (Table of origin of measures).
• Partner Focus Group Guide: A tool for evaluation and self-reflection for CBPR and community engaged research partnerships to strengthen understanding of their own partnering practices.
• Partner Interview Guide: An interview guide for self-reflection and evaluation of CBPR partnerships to better understand how the partnership is doing and how it can be improved.

Data Analyses and Promising Practices:

• Promising Practices Guide: A guide to be used flexibly, choosing the tools and recommendations that make sense to you and your partnerships.
• Sample Partnership Data Report: A summary of survey responses that were used to generate discussions and ideas.
• 2018 Poster: “Development and Implementation of ‘Partnership Data Report (PDR):’ a Reflective Evaluation Tool for Community and Academic Partnerships.”

River of Life

The River of Life is a reflective tool to describe a life journey (often of partnerships, coalitions, or organizations) (Sanchez-Youngman and Wallerstein, 2018). Its purpose is to uncover the histories and influences that motivate individuals and organizational partners to promote community empowerment, greater social participation in the research process, and community transformation for health equity. (For videos and facilitation guide, see our Engage for Equity site.

Visioning with the CBPR Model

The Visioning exercise facilitates partnerships to plan or evaluate their own outcomes, their contexts, the strengths and challenges of their own partnering processes, and their intervention and research actions to achieve their desired outcomes.
