Community based research uses collective impact for effective outcome and research for change initiatives. Maximizing collective impact is an issue now. We need more suggestions.
I consider that an "intervention" from an agent will intend to produce "Collective impact:". From my understanding community based research would not need or want to introduce an intervention. However, we could consider a study where we introduce an "intervention" and observe a "community impact". From here we can observe the magnitude of this impact and study how to maximize it. I am writing a paper on this subject. If you are interested, email me and I'll be glad to share with you some of the highlights.
We are working on health equity and sociodemographic indicators as a measure for health outcomes among racialized communities at Toronto. Here behaviour and cultural practices are interventions, though doses vary. I was struggling to fit collective impact to this new Model of Health and Wellbeing. I would appreciate any relevant literature.
David, consider the "intervention" from a foreign agent and the "collective impact" on U.S. society by the bombings of 9-11. What a laboratory test-case!
