| Abstract: | Empowerment Evaluation (EE) and Comprehensive Quality Programming (CQP) are presented as tools for reducing the barriers of insufficient ownership and insufficient capacity. EE and CQP emphasize the mutual influences of research-directed and community-directed approaches to prevention, in contrast to approaches to implementation that rely more heavily on the unidirectional transfer of technology from researchers to communities. We illustrate the use of EE and CQP in their consultation with practitioners and community stakeholders as a means of introducing research methodology and prevention science in a manner that is consistent with local values and beliefs (thereby increasing community ownership), and facilitates the mobilization of school and community resources (thereby increasing capacity). |
