Solving In recent years, attention to and knowledge about community problem solving and the impact of community collaboration has been growing. Marjory Ruderman developed a Resource Guide to Concepts and Methods for Community-Based and Collaborative Problem Solving , which distills the relevant literature into a readily usable form.
Special emphasis is given to issues pertaining to the measurement of key constructs.
It also identifies recent efforts to develop process and outcome measures for use in examining community collaboratives and documenting impact. The Guide concludes with a list of Internet resources. Problem Solving also can be downloaded from our Publications page.
