Answer:

Gosh, what a great question! There is a lot of discussion of this within the professional literature, but no easy answers. We have a couple of chapters within the Community Tool Box that might help. Please check out: - Chapter 19. Choosing and Adapting Community Interventions (http://ctb.ku.edu/tools/en/chapter_1019.htm) Several of the sections within this chapter are particularly relevant to your question. Best of luck in your work.
