Poster 8. The Community Readiness Model (CRM, Plested et al., 2016) explores a community’s readiness to address an issue. As the CRM is qualitative in nature, it has a number of practical and methodological limitations. The Community Readiness Instrument (CRI) was developed using the same theoretical frameworks as the CRM, and was thoroughly tested for reliability and validity. The presenters will discuss the steps taken to develop the CRI and the results of the instrument development studies.
