description: This unique book provides public health practitioners and other public health community workers details of how coalitions work most effectively. First-hand accounts illustrate through vivid stories, personal examples and lessons learned how coalitions can be built and sustained, bringing measurable, lasting results. The stories and the supporting text show how coalitions can be powerful tools to raise community participation and improve community outcomes. Guidance is provided for practitioners involved in coalition building on such important topics as teen pregnancy, AIDS, hunger/nutrition, immunization, tobacco control, substance abuse and violence prevention. Actual samples of materials coalitions have used, such as planning documents, membership brochures and publicity flyers, are provided as models.
