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.

社区心理健康成就能力问卷 (ACQ-CMH)：一种基于消费者的社区心理健康干预评估措施

能力方法提供了一个多维、生态和以主体为中心的框架，可以激发干预和评估模型。越来越多的基于能力方法的结果测量方法正在出现。关于社区心理健康，与消费者合作构建的新的消费者价值衡量标准被认为对于转型至关重要。同时，新的测量需要提供心理测量证据，以便进行正确的选择和应用。社区心理健康成就能力问卷 (ACQ-CMH) 是与社区心理健康服务的消费者合作开发的。它旨在评估消费者通过计划支持获得的能力。N  = 225）。还观察到可靠性和结构相关的有效性。由五个因素和 43 个项目组成的结构解决方案显示出比之前的探索性研究中获得的更好的模型拟合。研究结果支持使用 ACQ-CMH 评估社区心理健康干预措施的可靠性、敏感性以及收敛效度和区分效度。ACQ-CMH 提供了一个具有特定维度和能力指标的消费者价值框架，用于常规服务评估设置。
