How does the CRA Project fit what communities do? Step 1 Step 4 Step 3 Step 2 Choose Problem of Practice: Select Priority Substance/Problem & Specify Priority Population Needs Determine Strategies to Develop Community Readiness Assess Community Readiness Assessment to Identify Intervening Variables Step 8 Step 7 Step 6 Step 5 Evaluate Implement Select Evidence- Based Strategy Develop a Theory of Change Strategic Plan
What we will accomplish in SFY17? Use existing community data to: 1. Select a priority substance/problem 2. Specify a priority population Choose a Problem of Practice After choosing a problem of practice (priority substance/problem + priority population): 1. Conduct a community readiness assessment 2. Develop a plan to increase community readiness
What is Community Readiness? Community readiness is the extent to which a community is adequately prepared to address an important issue (or challenge) in the community. The support and commitment of community members Human and financial resources. Community readiness is a process and varies: Over time Across issues Across communities Across populations/community segments.
Does Community Readiness Matter? Understanding a community s level of readiness is key to implementing successful policies, interventions, strategies, and responses to challenges.
Why Measure Community Readiness? A community readiness assessment (CRA) provides this information. Part of a larger needs assessment process. A single event sometimes (but not often) can instantaneously build readiness. Most of the time, community readiness can be built through systematic and intentional work. The strategies and tools needed to increase readiness depend on the existing level of readiness.
What does a CRA set the stage for? Efforts and programs that fit the community Strategies matched to community readiness Sustainability Community ownership of efforts Path forward to continued action/intervention Sometimes the process of conducting a CRA can help build readiness to address an issue. CRA as an initial intervention strategy.
What is the Tri-Ethnic Model for Community Readiness?
Tri-Ethnic Community Readiness Model (CRM) An innovative method for assessing the level of readiness of a community Measures readiness on 5 dimensions Includes 9 stages of readiness Identifies strengths and weaknesses Points to appropriate actions Works within the community culture and capacity Aids in securing funding, cooperating with other organizations, and working with leadership
How does the Tri-Ethnic Model work? 1. Identify a problem of practice 2. Obtain supplies (digital recorder, telephone pickup) 3. Identify 5-8 key informants from various community sectors 4. Conduct interviews (and record them!) 5. Score transcripts 6. Develop report and plan to increase readiness
