[Comparing Community Capacities by Local Actors and External Experts: An Audit of Health Promotion Activities in Lenzsiedlung, Hamburg]. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The "Capacity building in Neighbourhoods (KEQ)" questionnaire measures community health promotion through self-evaluations by local actors and aims to compare their assessments with those of external health promotion experts.
  • - An audit conducted in Hamburg's Lenzsiedlung involved document-based evaluations and site visits by five experienced external experts, revealing that experts generally rated the health promotion efforts more positively than local actors.
  • - Overall, while local actors may have a more cautious view of their activities, it is beneficial to verify their assessments with external evaluations, especially for local leadership outcomes.

Article Abstract

Aim: The questionnaire "Capacity building in Neighbourhoods (KEQ)" has five dimensions which are regarded as intermediary outcome results of community health promotion. The questionnaire was to be completed by local actors and thus has some features of self-evaluation. We wanted to find out whether external experts make similar or more critical assessments.

Methods: We conducted an audit of the health promotion activities in our intervention area (Hamburg neighbourhood Lenzsiedlung) in two steps. Five external health promotion experts functioned as auditors with experience in evaluating good practice projects of health promotion. The first part of the audit was a document-based evaluation, the second part a visit-based one during a two-day stay in the intervention area.

Results: In the comparison of local actors' assessments (KEQ questionnaire results) with those of external experts in the document-based audit, the judgements of external experts were more positive on all five dimensions of the questionnaire (deviations from +0.1 to +0.9 on a scale from 1 to 5). In the visit-based audit, there was convergence in the assessments of the local actors and the external experts. They were partly identical; only the dimension "local leadership" was viewed slightly more critically by the external experts.

Conclusions: Based on our discussion of the four methodical problems of the comparison, we conclude that, on the whole, local actors do not tend to evaluate their activities too positively. However, if resources are available, one should try to confirm local views of outcomes by external assessments.
