“…Using common indicators would allow researchers and practitioners to compare the impact of food system initiatives across communities and identify the most effective initiatives in various community contexts. As suggested by the collective impact approach, using common metrics helps groups focusing on similar food system challenges align their efforts to have a concentrated impact on outcomes that matter to their communities (Frost & Stone, 2009;Kania & Kramer, 2011). Using a common set of indicators across groups combined with selected indicators that are particularly meaningful to a community could be an effective approach for advancing the science of food system change and ensuring it is relevant to those shaping and experiencing those food systems.…”

“…Over 80 people, representing more than 40 organizations, participated in a community-based collaborative process detailed elsewhere (Frost and Stone 2009). Their efforts resulted in a report identifying strengths and challenges in the local service system and detailing 39 criteria which, when achieved, could define Austin (and the surrounding Travis County) as a mentally healthy community (Mayor's Mental Health Task Force Final Report 2005).…”

Recent decades have seen the development of robust systems of community health indicators, but those indicator sets tend to have few indicators related to behavioral health. Gauging community behavioral health can be complex, but given the interconnectedness of health and behavioral health and the high social and financial cost of unaddressed behavioral health needs, it is essential to develop meaningful indicators. A community-based participatory research project in Austin, Texas developed behavioral health indicators based on a review of social indicators movements across the globe, existing sets of proposed key indicators of mental health and mental illness, and ongoing community initiatives in Austin relevant to behavioral health. The community behavioral health indicators have been refined through the challenging process of implementing them in the face of competing efforts and imprecise communication about their use. While indicators should always be adapted to suit local conditions, this indicator set should provide a good starting point for researchers and communities to assess and improve the behavioral health of their community.

“…Collaboration has been explored in areas such as education, health, economic security, and housing as well as with more comprehensive interconnected concerns (Frost & Stone, 2009;Innes & Rongerude, 2005;Shaver, Golan, & Wagner, 1996). Initially referred to solely in relation to interorganizational or interagency efforts, collaboration's meaning has expanded to include broader involvement predominantly through promotion of various forms of neighborhoodbased and comprehensive community efforts.…”
