Resumo(s)
The capabilities approach offers a multidimensional, ecological, and agent‐
centered framework that may inspire models of intervention and evaluation. A
growing number of measures grounded on the capabilities approach for outcome
measurement are appearing. Regarding community mental health, new
consumer‐valued measures—constructed in collaboration with consumers—are
here considered crucial for a transformative shift. Meanwhile, new measurements
need to provide psychometric evidence to enable proper choice and application. The Achieved Capabilities Questionnaire for Community Mental Health
(ACQ‐CMH) was developed in collaboration with consumers of community
mental health services. It aims to assess consumers' capabilities achieved through
program support. The present paper shows advancements in the measure
validation through a confirmatory factor analysis within a sample of community
mental health consumers (N = 225). Reliability and construct‐related validity were
also observed. A structural solution composed of five factors and 43 items
revealed a better model fit than that obtained in a previous exploratory study.
Findings support the reliability, sensibility, and both convergent and discriminant
validity of using the ACQ‐CMH in the evaluation of community mental health
interventions. The ACQ‐CMH offers a consumer‐valued framework with specific
dimensions and indicators of capabilities for use in a routine service evaluation
setting.
