What is the CPA?
Embedded Files
The CPA (Community Partner Assessment) involves identifying community based organizations whose mission aligns with the CHANGE Lab. After identifying potential organizations, we conduct an initial outreach to express interest in collaborating and identify points of synergy. Community partners are then given the option to complete a semi-structured interview in which we ask questions regarding the strengths, weakness, needs, and their perception of youth's holistic health. This information guides the work that the CHANGE Lab conducts.
CPA Projects
The research that we do in the CHANGE Lab is guided by what the community needs; specifically, what adolescents and their families need. Many of the needs assessment previously conducted in Boston, MA have been tailored towards adults as opposed to youth. We created the needs assessment to connect with local youth-serving community organizations and to gain a holistic understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of young people.
