Development and Validation of a Measure to Assess Readiness to Advance Health and Equity: The Assessment for Advancing Community Transformation

This publication reports on the development and validation of the Assessment for Advancing Community Transformation – a tool that allows groups to directly collect and use data about their multi-sector collaborative by creating a shared point of reference for where partners are at in their stage of development across multiple factors.

Considering the important need to assess progress towards advancing health and health equity among multi-sector partnerships alongside the limitations of currently existing instruments described above, the Assessment for Advancing Community Transformation was developed.
