| Abstract:
Using the local needs assessment and TA relationship ratings collected annually on local partners, prevention capacity of the organization was measured as well as characteristics of the relationship between the local organization and their technical assistance (TA) provider. Preliminary findings will be presented for 70 local organizations with data collected at two time points between 2007 and 2009. Findings include: Funded partners provided a total of 1793 hours of Training and 1398 hours of TA to local sites. Local partner engagement in TA increased significantly from time 1 (M=3.89, SD=.75) to time 2 (M=4.04, SD=.69) as rated by TA providers, F(1,69)=3.80, p<.05. In addition, the relationship quality between TA provider and local partner increased from time 1 (M=4.26, SD=.57) to time 2 (M=4.38, SD=.58), F(1,69)=5.22, p<.05. Local organization ratings of self-efficacy regarding prevention capacity increased significantly from time 1 (M=3.36, SD=.70) to time 2 (M=3.67, SD=.81), F(1,69)=9.77, p<.05.
