Which strategy will help generate different ideas for improving climate in your unit based on CCA results?

• A. Have a series of internal conversations with the IPPW and other prevention collaborators about the implications of your findings
• B. Implement a top-down mandate without input
• C. Wait for more data before acting
• D. Focus only on quantitative metrics

Answer: (A)

Generating different ideas for improving your unit’s climate from CCA results relies on bringing people together who understand the findings and can translate them into practical actions. Having a series of conversations with the IPPW and prevention collaborators about what the findings imply creates a space where diverse perspectives, expertise, and lived experience contribute to brainstorming feasible solutions. This collaborative approach helps surface a wider range of ideas, some that may address root causes the data hint at and others that fit the unit’s culture and resources. It also builds ownership and agreement on next steps, which makes it more likely that any changes will be implemented effectively.

If you push for a top-down mandate without input, you’re likely to miss important nuances from those inside the unit, which can lead to solutions that aren’t practical or do not have buy-in. Waiting for more data delays action, keeping the climate issue unaddressed longer. Focusing only on quantitative metrics ignores the stories, norms, and behaviors that the CCA captures, which are essential to understanding and shifting the climate.
