Resumo(s)
The capabilities approach offers a multidimensional, ecological, and agent‐centered framework that may inspire models of intervention and evaluation. Agrowing number of measures grounded on the capabilities approach for outcomemeasurement are appearing. Regarding community mental health, newconsumer‐valued measures—constructed in collaboration with consumers—arehere considered crucial for a transformative shift. Meanwhile, new measurementsneed to provide psychometric evidence to enable proper choice and applica-tion. The Achieved Capabilities Questionnaire for Community Mental Health(ACQ‐CMH) was developed in collaboration with consumers of communitymental health services. It aims to assess consumers' capabilities achieved throughprogram support. The present paper shows advancements in the measurevalidation through a confirmatory factor analysis within a sample of communitymental health consumers (N= 225). Reliability and construct‐related validity werealso observed. A structural solution composed offive factors and 43 itemsrevealed a better modelfit than that obtained in a previous exploratory study.Findings support the reliability, sensibility, and both convergent and discriminantvalidity of using the ACQ‐CMH in the evaluation of community mental healthinterventions. The ACQ‐CMH offers a consumer‐valued framework with specificdimensions and indicators of capabilities for use in a routine service evaluationsetting
