Question: I am looking for a survey to be used w/ coalitions to assess status, satisfaction, gaps, etc. Does the community tool box have such an instrument or could you direct me to one?

Answer: Ms Frazier, There are a couple of sources of surveys such as what you request. Within the CTB you can find resources for developing a survey in Chapter 3 (/tools/en/chapter_1003.htm) there are sections that will help you with developing your own survey. There are additional resources in Chapter 38 (/tools/en/chapter_1039.htm). There are also many resources for this kind of survey on the Internet. You can find many of them listed on the American Evaluation Association web site (http://www.eval.org/). Third, you might want to do a search on Google Scholar for the work of Fran Butterfoss, Michelle Kegler, or Bob Goodman. They have all published results of work done using these kind of surveys.
