Session: Understanding and Mobilizing Communities and Coalitions
3381.0: Monday, December 12, 2005: 4:30 PM-6:00 PM
Oral
Understanding and Mobilizing Communities and Coalitions
Coalitions have been established to address many public health problems, but questions remain about which processes truly advance coalition development and what components enable coalitions to be effective. The speakers in this presentation will outline theoretical frameworks that can be used to understand community coalitions. Presentations will also describe interventions and programs that have relied upon community mobilization and coalition development to succeed. The session will include discussion of the implications of coalitions for health promotion practice.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  1. Identify the components of Community Coalition Action Theory and the Participatory Action Research approach;
  2. Describe strategies for community mobilization; and
  3. Define elements of coalitions that are necessary to move from initial formation to outcomes.
