背景社区参与性研究鼓励社区在项目开发和实施的早期阶段参与，但可持续性取决于社区的持续兴趣和参与。虽然当地衡量的结果可能不能一概而论，但表明社区特定成功标志取得进展的评估可以表明社区的投资回报。这项研究的目的是概述社区确定的成功预防暴力的指标转化为可测量变量的过程。方法在美国东北部的一个大城市地区，对确定的暴力发生率较高的社区内的关键群体进行焦点小组调查。
BackgroundCommunity participatory research encourages community involvement in early stages of program development and implementation, but sustainability is dependent on continued community interest and participation. While locally measured outcomes may not be generalizable, evaluations that demonstrate progress on community-specified markers of success can demonstrate a community's return on investment. The purpose of this study was to outline a process whereby community-identified indicators of successful violence prevention were translated into measurable variables.MethodsFocus groups were conducted with key groups within identified neighborhoods experiencing high rates of violence in a large metropolitan area in the northeast United States.
