Team Collaboration, Trust, and Respect 

Note: the community participation in research questions are the modified ladder of participation measure. Naylor, Wharf-Higgins, Blair, Green, & O’Connor (2002).

Thank you for your participation in the UW ALACRITY Center’s end-of-phase survey.  

This survey features two measures of the levels of collaboration participation among your team. Your participation is confidential. Please recognize that your team will receive a simple report of the number of participants and average scores for each item. We will not provide any quotes to your team from your open-ended item responses, but we will summarize comments from all team members. We encourage your team to have a conversation about these results in order to improve your project. Please keep this in mind when responding and use the “choose not to respond” option or leave open ended items blank if you are concerned about this sharing of summary information.  

Which project are you reporting on? 

Which DDBT phase are you reporting on? This will be the phase your project team recently completed. 

• ◻ Discover 
• ◻ Design/Build 
• ◻ Test 

Please evaluate the collaboration within your project by indicating if the collaboration is (1) inadequate, (2) poor, (3) satisfactory, (4) good, or (5) excellent (or -999 choose not to respond). 

1. Acceptance of new ideas
2. Communication among collaborators
3. Ability to capitalize on the strengths of different researchers   
4. Organization or structure of collaborative teams 
5. Resolution of conflicts among collaborators }
6. Ability to accommodate different working styles of collaborators 
7. Involvement of collaborators from outside the center 
8. Involvement of collaborators from diverse disciplines 
9. Productivity of collaboration meetings 
10. Productivity in developing new products (e.g., papers, proposals, courses) 
11. Overall productivity of collaboration 

Please rate your views about collaboration with respect to your project by indicating if you (1) strongly disagree, (2) somewhat agree, (3) not sure, (4) somewhat agree, or (5) strongly agree with the statement, or (-999) choose not to respond. 

12. In general, collaboration has improved your productivity.
13. In general, collaboration has improved the quality of your work. 
14. Collaboration has posed a significant time burden in your work.  
15. You are comfortable showing limits or gaps in your knowledge to those with whom you collaborate. 
16. In general, you feel that you can trust the colleagues with whom you collaborate. 
17. In general, you find that your collaborators are open to criticism. 
18. In general, you respect your collaborators. 

In the question below, “academic researchers” refers to the academic study team while “community partners” refers to service providers and clients who were study participants and/or design team members (including therapists, supervisors, teachers, patients, clients, students, caregivers/parents).  

What is your role on the project?  

• ◻ Academic researcher 
• ◻ Community partner 

Please rate the extent to which community partners and academic researchers were involved in design team decision making in this phase of the project. [INCLUDE -999 “Choose not to answer” in all options below]. Remember that your individual responses will be kept confidential. Reports back to your team will only include mean scores for the overall team.
