The Georgia Health Policy Center is proud to announce the public release of the validated Assessment for Advancing Community Transformation (AACT) tool.
The AACT tool was developed in partnership with 100 Million Healthier Lives/Institute for Public Health and County Health Rankings & Roadmaps to fill a gap in information and practical tools to understand how groups are working together on community health improvement.
The AACT tool is a data- and community-driven way to make sure collaborative members are in agreement, particularly around the important issues of inclusion, trust, and equity.
“The AACT is a practical tool for groups to gather data to learn where they are in the process of working together,” explains GHPC’s Tanisa Adimu, a codeveloper of the tool. “Results can be used to drive discussion, plan for strengthening the collaborative, and ultimately, accelerate community transformation.”
The AACT tool was designed to help individuals and teams understand how far along the group is in its journey toward health transformation and what areas can be strengthened to help go further. The tool includes
- 6 Key Themes: Topics include collaboration, communication, advance equity, plan for action, measure to improve, and sustainability
- 22 Subthemes: Drilldown questions on main topic areas
- 4 Stages: A continuum to describe current status of efforts from ‘not yet started’ to ‘sustaining’
