This article reports on the co-creation of an actionable pragmatic survey, shortened from validated metrics of partnership practices and outcomes. Methods: We pursued a triple aim of preserving content validity, psychometric properties, and importance to stakeholders of items, scales, and constructs from a previously validated measure of CBRP/CEnR processes and outcomes. There were six steps in the methods: (a) established validity and shortening objectives; (b) used a conceptual model to guide decisions; (c) preserved content validity and importance; (d) preserved psychometric properties; (e) justified the selection of items and scales; and (f) validated the short-form version. Twenty-one CBPR/CEnR experts (13 academic and 8 community partners) completed a survey and participated in two focus groups to identify content validity and importance of the original 93 items. Results: The survey and focus group process resulted in the creation of the 30-item Partnering for Health Improvement and Research Equity (PHIRE) survey. Confirmatory factor analysis and a structural equation model of the original data set resulted in the validation of eight higher-order scales with good internal consistency and structural relationships (TLI > 0.98 and SRMR < 0.02). A reworded version of the PHIRE was administered to an additional sample demonstrating good reliability and construct validity. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the PHIRE is a reliable instrument with construct validity compared to the larger version from which it was derived. The PHIRE is a straightforward and easy-to-use tool, for a range of CBPR/CEnR projects, that can provide benefit to partnerships by identifying actionable changes to their partnering practices to reach their desired research and practical outcomes.
