Twelve participants completed the CBPR Experiences in the Community-academic Partnership Questionnaire. The data revealed a mean agreement rating scores (in the joint categories of strongly agree and agree) of 100% in each item of the questionnaire item. Specifically, 100% of the participants strongly agreed that: 1) their experiences in the coalition was good, 2) the coalition members were respectful with each other, and 3) the coalition members were in agreement with the coalition vision and mission. Ninety-two percent strongly agreed that: 1) the coalition members represented the community’s interests, 2) the coalition members had the opportunities to express their opinions, 3) the members establish the needs that were considered priorities for the community, and 4) the members shared their resources. Participants’ answers to the open-ended question were congruent with the questionnaire participants’ ratings and demonstrated gains in capacity building as expressed by the following member: “the experience (with the coalition) has been pleasant and helped us to understand the community needs.”
