They discuss the complexity and challenges of validly measuring “community participation,” identify limitations of measurement strategies, and confirm the need for substantial, rigorous CBPR measurement research. As noted in the introduction, more multilevel, complex interventions proposed by a trans-disciplinary team will be needed to increase the probability of successful process, impact, and outcome evaluations. In discussions about the philosophy of program evaluation, successful applications and evaluations of the Population Health Model will require stronger, direct linkages between public (population) health science, policy, and practice stakeholders.
