The CRI is an assessment of community readiness to change a systemic issue. Issues can include any wide-spread problem a community is dealing with, such as substance use, homelessness, racism, and obesity. It was developed to provide clinicians and local advocates with a statistically and conceptually sound measure of community change readiness. Measuring community readiness is the first step in localized advocacy for change. Failing to assess community readiness before implementing new efforts can lead to failure or mixed success. The CRI is an easy-to-use way to ensure that the efforts created by local leaders and advocates will match the community’s current readiness to change.

The CRI includes 6 subscales which are each influential facets of community readiness. These are Efforts, Knowledge of Efforts, Leadership, Community Climate, Knowledge of Issue, and Resources. Each subscale includes 6-9 items, with the CRI including 47 total items. For additional information, please refer to the publications referenced here. For access to the CRI, please reach out to Dr. Natalie Ricciutti at nricciut@charlotte.edu.
