随着儿童心理健康政策和实践变化的快速发展，有必要进行研究，以审查，描述和传播有关将政策指令转化为实践创新的信息。儿童心理健康的国家政策授权已将期望放在当地社区，让家庭作为合作伙伴参与护理系统的开发，实施和评估，但很少指导如何在当地实施方案要求。因此，在如何在当地社区实际实施创新方面，知识库存在空白。本文报道了一项定性研究，以了解家庭参与评估的护理系统从评估者和家庭成员的角度共同努力。评价结果提供了丰富的实例，说明在评价小组工作的评价人员和家庭成员的经验和看法、他们遇到的挑战以及应对这些挑战的有效战略。
With the rapid pace of policy and practice changes in children's mental health, there is a need for research to examine, describe, and disseminate information about the translation of policy directives into practice innovations at the local level. National policy mandates for children's mental health have placed expectations on local communities to involve families as partners in the development, implementation, and evaluation of systems of care with little guidance about how to implement program requirements locally. Consequently, there is a gap in the knowledge base regarding how innovations are actually implemented in local community contexts. This article reports on a qualitative study to gain understanding of family participation in evaluations of systems of care firom the perspectives of evaluators and family members working together. Findings provided rich examples of the experiences and perceptions of evaluators and family members working on evaluation teams, the challenges they encountered, and effective strategies to meet those challenges.
