- Summary:
- This book offers a step-by-step guide to the theoretical basis and practical implementation of coalitions and partnerships. Written by a uniquely qualified author, with deep roots in research and practice, the book provides an in-depth, analytical, and practical approach to building, sustaining and nurturing these complex organizations. The theoretical foundation is provided by Butterfoss and Kegler' s Community Coalition Action Theory, orienting the content toward action-oriented partnerships that focus on preventing or ameliorating a community-defined problem by: analyzing the problem, gathering data and assessing need, developing an action plan with solutions, implementing these solutions, reaching community-level outcomes, such as health behavior changes, and creating social change.
