| Community coalitions have been used to address a broad range of health promotion and disease prevention issues, especially during the past decade. Funders generally have high expectations of what coalitions can accomplish. Recently, researchers and practitioners alike have questioned the effectiveness of coalitions in accomplishing certain tasks, such as planning and implementing programs and influencing health outcomes. This 90 minute session will include 4 presentations that demonstrate effective achievement of the core functions of public health (assessment,planning,implementation and evaluation) by featuring actual coalitions for infant and child health, immunization, school health and perinatal health. Questions and discussion will follow the presentations | ||||
