Abstract EN
This paper outlines how to compute community priority indices in the context of multicriteria decision making in community settings.
A simple R function was developed and validated with community needs assessment data.
Particularly, the first part of this paper briefly overviews the existing methods for priority setting and reviews the utility of a multicriteria decision-making approach for community-based prioritization.
The second part illustrates how community priority indices can be calculated using the freely available R program to handle community data by showing the computational and mathematical steps of CPI (Community Priority Index) with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals.
