近年来，越来越多的人注意到机构间合作对于改善社区福祉、环境和公共卫生以及教育成果的重要性。本文使用包括网络分析在内的混合方法，考察了由安全学校/健康学生倡议(SS/HS)资助的一个站点的机构间合作的变化。评价结果表明，虽然项目内协作在赠款中期达到顶峰，并在去年开始下降，但机构间协作在赠款的最后一年继续增长。这些结果说明了如何轻松地收集网络数据并将其用于评估机构间关系的发展。
In recent years, there has been increasing attention to the importance of interagency collaboration for improving community well-being, environmental and public health, and educational outcomes. This article uses a mixed-methods approach including network analysis to examine the changes in interagency collaboration in one site funded by the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative (SS/HS). Results of the evaluation demonstrated that although intraproject collaboration peaked in the middle of the grant and began to decline during the last year, interagency collaborations continued to grow during the last year of the grant. These results illustrate how network data can easily be collected and used to assess the development of interagency relationships.
