Team A will develop a research method to gather information on Mercedes-Benz owners impacted by the Takata airbag recall. The team will contact consumers and determine how many bring their car in for repairs. The null hypothesis is that there is no correlation between the number of consumers contacted and the number who get repairs. The alternative hypothesis is that there is a correlation. Data was collected on consumers contacted once or twice for the recall in several states. Statistical analysis found no significant difference in the number of repairs based on being contacted once or twice, so the team failed to reject the null hypothesis.

The document calls for more comprehensive and ongoing evaluation of the HCA and other consumer participation efforts to help guide continued progress.
This document provides guidance on building coalition capacity in four key areas: membership, organizational structure, leadership, and cultural competence. It emphasizes that membership is essential for harnessing local resources and implementing multidimensional solutions to substance abuse issues. The coalition needs to recruit representatives from diverse community sectors to ensure involvement from important organizations and institutions, as well as grassroots community members. Developing the right mix of stakeholders is important, as members serve as a link between the coalition and external resources. Strong membership, organizational structure, leadership, and attention to cultural competence are necessary for a coalition to develop and implement effective strategies to address substance abuse.
Social Accountability for Improved Community Health ShanklinCORE Group
The document describes the principles and process of a Community Score Card (CSC) approach. The CSC aims to create dialogue between community members and health staff to identify and address local health problems. The process involves separate focus groups with the community and health providers to identify issues, develop perception-based indicators, and assign scores. An interface meeting brings both groups together to present scorecards and jointly develop 6-month action plans. The cycle then repeats every 6 months to rescore indicators and update action plans. The CSC process seeks to empower communities and foster cooperation between community members and health staff to continuously improve local healthcare.
The Healthy County Health Department convened organizations to develop a community health improvement plan. A council was established to improve population health through prevention and health promotion. The council used the MAPP process to conduct four assessments to identify health issues: community health status, forces of change, local public health system, and community themes/strengths. A subcommittee prioritized health problems using assessment data. The result was a plan identifying priority issues and goals. Performance management could be enhanced by developing standards, regular reporting, and quality improvement processes for addressing priority health issues.

Trainers Manual on SHG formation MK SINHAmanojsinha2
This document is a trainer's manual on forming self-help groups. It provides an introduction to key concepts like what defines a group, the importance of groups, and what constitutes a self-help group. Specifically, it outlines that a self-help group is a voluntary association of 10-20 people, usually from weaker socioeconomic strata, who come together to pool savings and other resources regularly to meet member needs. Forming women's self-help groups is emphasized as women are often more marginalized and disciplined savers who can benefit their entire households. A story of a woman named Sarala is also provided as an example of how self-help group participation can empower individuals and families economically.
Community Health Assessments and Continuous Quality ImprovementP.docxcargillfilberto
Community Health Assessments and Continuous Quality Improvement
Part 1
In its report "The Future of Public Health," the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (1988) recognizes assessments of community health status and community health needs as a core public health function. The course textbook states that some of the goals of community health assessment are to evaluate health status, identify community health needs, identify strengths and weaknesses of a community's health systems, recommend strategies to address community health needs, and locate existing or needed resources to meet identified needs.
Read the report and based on it, respond to the following questions in relation to the role of community members:
What role or roles should community members have in a community needs assessment? Justify your answer.
What are some strategies for engaging community members?
Public health agencies use data to identify health problems, establish and track health objectives, and assess the effectiveness of policies, programs, and services.
Respond to the following questions in relation to community needs assessment:
Which key factors are important to consider when gathering and presenting data for a community needs assessment?
When presenting data, which strategies would you recommend for creating a strong and compelling statement of need?
Part 2
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) refers to the process of continually assessing and adjusting a program or service components to address problems or enhance results. The CQI process is dynamic and ongoing, guided by input or feedback from individuals receiving the services. Additionally, buy-in and support from the staff, particularly staff responsible for implementing program changes, are critical to an agency's CQI efforts. Selecting the right individual to lead an agency's CQI efforts is important if these criteria are to be achieved.
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about CQI in public health systems.
Based on your research, respond to the following discussion points in relation to CQI activities:
Describe the ideal traits or characteristics of the person or team who would spearhead the CQI process.
Examine how CQI leaders can garner support and buy-in from staff responsible for CQI activities.
CQI leaders are critical to the success of an agency's CQI efforts. Effective CQI leaders help establish a shared vision and purpose provide direction, and ensure the availability of resources and the right environment required for success.
Respond to the following discussion points in relation to managing CQI efforts:
Examine the advantages and disadvantages of assigning an existing staff person to manage CQI efforts versus engaging an external contractor.
Explain which of the two you would recommend for managing CQI efforts.

mobilization and constituency building. PATCH focuses on orienting and training community leaders and other
community participants in all aspects of the community needs assessment process and includes excellent
documentation and resource materials. Although originally developed by the Centers for Disease Control and

interventions, PATCH is flexible enough to be used in a wide variety of community health needs assessment
applications.
Another important tool for addressing public health core functions and their associated processes is Model
Standards, Healthy Communities.8 The steps outlined for implementation of the Model Standards process in the
community link many of the various core functionrelated tools; they represent, in effect, a pathway for
organizations to participate in community health improvement activities.
1. Assessment of organizational role. Communities are organized and structured differently. As a result, the
specific roles of local public health organizations will vary from community to community. An essential
first step is to reexamine organizational purpose and mission and develop a longrange vision through
strategic planning involving its internal and external constituencies. The resulting mission statement and
longrange vision serve to guide the organization (leadership and board, as well as employees) and to define
it for its community partners. This critical step should be completed before the remaining steps can be
successfully addressed. Part I of APEXPH and the expanded strategic planning elements of MAPP are
useful in accomplishing this task.
2. Assessment of organizational capacity. After mission and role have been defined, it is necessary to
examine an organization’s capacity to carry out its role in the community. This calls for an assessment of
the major operational elements of the organization, including its structure and performance for specific
tasks. This type of organizational and local public health system selfassessment is best carried out through
broad participation from all levels. Both APEXPH and MAPP include hundreds of indicators that can be
used in this capacity assessment. These indicators can be modified or eliminated if deemed inappropriate,
and additional indicators can also be used. This step serves to identify strengths and weaknesses relative to
mission and role.
3. Development of a capacitybuilding plan. The development of a capacitybuilding plan incorporates the
organization’s strengths and prioritizes its weaknesses so that the m ...

Plan and (hypothetically) evaluate a public health intervention utilizing the MAP-IT Tool.
Based upon the key findings, gaps, and recommendations obtained from the family assessment and the community assessment perform an evaluation of an actual or hypothetical public health intervention. The intervention
MUST address one of the Healthy People Topics & Objectives
No two public health interventions are exactly alike. But most interventions share a similar path to success: Mobilize, Assess, Plan, Implement, Track.
Otherwise known as MAP-IT, this framework can be used to plan and evaluate public health interventions to achieve Healthy People 2020 objectives. Whether you are a seasoned public health professional or new to the field, the MAP-IT framework will help you create your own path to a healthy community and a healthier Nation.

Questions To Ask and Answer: What is the vision and mission of the coalition? Why do I want to bring people together?
Who should be represented?
Who are the potential partners (organizations and businesses) in my
community? Assess both needs and assets (resources) in your community.
This will help you get a sense of what you can do, versus what you would like
to do. Work together as a coalition to set priorities.
What do community members and key stakeholders see as the most important issues? Consider feasibility, effectiveness, and measurability as you determine your priorities. Start collecting State and local data to paint a realistic picture of community needs.
The data you collect during the assessment phase will serve as baseline data. Baseline data provide information you gather before you start a program or intervention. They allow you to track your progress.
CRITICAL ELEMENTS -
1. Key individuals and organizations are identified to address the community need

Abstract
OCS corporate strategy is rooted in a low-product diversification strategy. Although the type of corporate strategy can be sustained, organizational growth is often sacrificed. A low product diversification strategy makes expansion into other customer segments difficult. By diversifying product or services, OCS could gain exposure to a far-reaching base of customers. OCS should continue saluting the niche market of high school senior enlistees, but could incorporate saluting the veterans, for example, who are involuntarily being separated from the armed services because of congressionally mandated forced reduction measures.
Background - Our Community Salutes (OCS)
Our Community Salutes (OCS) was founded in 2009 by Dr. Kenneth Hartman Dr. Hartman is the president and founder of OCS, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to recognize and honor graduating high school seniors (and parents) who have pledged to join the U.S. Armed Forces after graduation. Dr. Hartman holds an undergraduate degree from The State University of New York at Geneseo, a master’s degree from Michigan State University, and a Doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania.

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS

1: Aggression and Violence
Aggression is, “an act or behavior that intentionally hurts another person, either physically or psychologically” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 389). While some expressions of aggression are universal, cross-cultural differences exist in the type and level of aggression that are considered to be legally or socially sanctioned. There have been multiple reasons proposed by theorists to explain these cultural differences in the type (verbal, physical, etc.) and level of aggression expressed across cultures.
For this Discussion,review this week’s Learning Resources. Select a culture and consider how this culture expresses aggression.
With these thoughts in mind:
a brief description of the culture you selected. Provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive by culture you selected and explain why. Then, provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive across most cultures and explain why. Finally explain how socially sanctioned violence is acceptable within certain cultures. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

2: Attribution
“Not only do people bolster beliefs in their ability to control in response to successful control of an event but also they hold an unwarranted belief that they can control chance events,” states Yamaguchi (Matsumoto (Ed.), 2001, pp. 226–227) in the course text. While members of all cultures have the goal of protecting self-image following failures, differences exist among cultures in terms of the attributions made for the failure and success of a task. Thus, while the self-serving bias is universally applied, the specific attributions made differ cross-culturally. In some cultures, it is assumed that failure is attributable to situational factors while others assume dispositional factors.
Differences also exist in how the failure or success of another individual is attributed. Consider the relevance of attributions for success and failure for the scholar-practitioner working in a multicultural environment or in a global company. How would knowledge of how individuals’ attribute their own or others failure impact a team, classroom, or organization?
For this Discussion, imagine that a group of business people from two different cultures (one from a collectivistic culture and another from an individualistic culture) work together on a business project, and at the end, the project fails. Consider how people from individualistic and collectivistic cultures respond to failure and the factors to which they would most likely attribute their failures.
With these thoughts in mind:
a brief comparison of the similarities and differences of attribution styles in individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Then provide an example of a group situation in which a proj ...

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

However, in 2023, they played one another twice, with France endearing both matches 4-0 and 2-1 individually. Against Poland and Austria, the Netherlands also have a stout record, winning just under half the matches. They faced Austria at Euro 2020, engaging 2-0, and they haven't lost to Poland since 1979.
The lettering is on the wall for Holland to qualify for the knockouts, but nothing is failsafe. The Netherlands kickstart their Euros campaign against Poland on Sunday, June 16th. In Hamburg, they will have to go up against one of the best strikers in the world, Robert Lewandowski.

Ronald Koeman is widely considered one of the more successful Dutch managers in Premier League history, considering the nation has a reputation for struggling to replicate their talents in England. The former Everton manager went against that script and shone — and now he is back managing his nation.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

3. About the ACSM American Fitness
Index Program
With support and funding from the Anthem Foundation,
ACSM launched the AFI program in 2008 to help
communities identify opportunities to:
• Improve the health of its residents
• Evolve the community to a culture of health and wellness
• Expand community assets to better support active,
healthy lifestyles
The AFI program revolves around an annual data report,
a reliable measure of community fitness for the country’s
50 largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). The report
serves as a scientific, objective assessment of each MSA’s
strengths and challenges, and effectively informs local
decision-making that can enhance the quality of life for
its population.
For the purpose of AFI, the data report evaluates MSAs
according to the U.S. Census Bureau. An MSA also can
be referred to as a “community” and/or a “city.” If referred
to by city, the report is referencing the entire MSA or metro
area, but uses the name of the largest principal city. For
example, Atlanta is the principal city of the Atlanta-Sandy
Springs-Roswell MSA. The Atlanta community and the
nickname Metro Atlanta refer to the Atlanta-Sandy
Springs-Roswell MSA.
The AFI Data Report reflects a composite of:
• Personal health measures
• Preventive health behaviors
• Levels of chronic disease conditions
• Environmental and community resources
• Policies that support physical activity
Benchmarks for each data indicator in the report highlight
areas that need improvement.
In addition, demographic and economic diversity are included
for each MSA to illustrate the unique attributes of each city.
These description elements are not included in the data
index calculation, but can be used for comparison purposes.
While the AFI Data Report provides detailed information for
the 50 most populated cities at the MSA level, the My AFI
community application tool integrates the components of
the AFI program into a health promotion approach that can
be used by other communities not included in the AFI Data
introduction
About the AFI Community Action Guide
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) American
Fitness Index®
(AFI) Community Action Guide is a companion
to the AFI Data Report presented annually by ACSM and
the Anthem Foundation.
Whether you are just getting started or well on your way to
addressing health and physical activity in your community,
the AFI Community Action Guide provides an overview
of the critical decisions and factors related to effective
community action.
One effective strategy for community action is forming a
diverse coalition of goal-oriented individuals and organizations
working toward the same outcome. The subsequent sections
of this guide will outline organizational and planning
considerations for effective coalitions.
In addition, you’ll find practical tools, examples and resources
on the AFI website at www.americanfitnessindex.org.
Intended Audience
This guide is for anyone interested in addressing the overall
health, emphasizing the level of physical activity, in your city,
town or neighborhood. Some audiences for whom ACSM
has created this guide include professionals working in the
fields of:
• Public Health • Planning
• Smart Growth • Zoning
• Community Development • Transportation
• Parks • Recreation
• Education • Youth Services
• Aging Services • Physical fitness
• Health, Wellness • Local government
and Medicine • Businesses
• Faith-based organizations

Report. Using this tool, leaders can understand the individual,
societal and behavioral factors related to physical activity
in their own community and implement culturally focused
activities that are meaningful to its residents.
In recent years, the AFI program also has included:
• Technical assistance to low-ranking metro areas
• Trend reports that highlight the progress a city has
made over a five-year period
The Need for Community Action
Being physically active is one of the most important ways
individuals can improve and maintain his or her overall health.
Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of:
• Premature death
• Heart disease
• Type 2 diabetes
• Breast cancer
• Colon cancer
• Risk of falls
Physical activity also can:
• Decrease body fat
• Improve bone health
• Improve muscular strength
• Prevent the development of chronic diseases (I)
coalition basics
A coalition is a group of individuals and groups working
together to achieve a shared goal. Coalitions function
best when its members represent the diverse interests
of the community.
To help assure success, coalitions need:
• A shared sense of direction among its members
• Defined objectives
• A realistic action plan
• Consistent communication
• Agreed upon measures of success
The functions of a coalition might include:
• Community awareness, community engagement
and strengthening knowledge
• Educating policy makers
• Influencing public and/or private policy issues
• Building support for improvements in infrastructure
• Improving organizational practices
Emerging public health information suggests
that to reach the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention’s goal to improve
health and fitness, prevent disease and
disability, and enhance quality of life for
all Americans through physical activity,
we must create a culture
that integrates physical
activity into our daily lives.
5. Collective Impact as a Model for
Community Action
Transforming communities into healthier places isn’t
a simple process. Rather, the process of increasing
physical activity and helping people live healthier
lives is a complex issue that will require many
moving parts and several organizations working
toward a common goal.
To achieve this common goal, many communities
have adopted the definition of “collective impact”
to incite action. For the purposes of this guide, we
consider collective impact and coalition work to
be similar.
Collective impact involves the same recipe for
successful coalitions including:
• Common agenda
• Shared measurement
• Mutually reinforcing activities
• Continuous communication
The primary difference is that creating and
managing collective impact requires a separate
organization and a specific set of skills to serve
as the backbone for the entire initiative and
to coordinate participating organizations
and agencies.
In this guide, you will find that many coalitions may
have staff as well. For coalitions and collective
impact to work, the role of leadership and staff
should be to balance the tension and keep all
parties coordinated and accountable, while staying
behind the scenes in order to establish collective
ownership.
An excellent source for learning more about
collective impact is FSG, a nonprofit consulting
firm focused on discovering better ways to solve
social problems. (II) (III) (VII)
tip
As you begin to think about bringing together
a coalition, don’t get stuck on what to call
your group. Additionally, avoid the temptation
to debate whether your group should be
labeled a “coalition,” “collaborative,”
“partnership,” “collective impact”
or similar term.
What the group is called is not likely to
matter, especially as the work is just
beginning. After the group is organized
and functioning, you can revisit the “What
do we want to call ourselves?” question.
For the sake of simplicity, this guide
will use the word “coalition.”
Some practical benefits of forming a coalition include:
1. There is strength in numbers, but a small group of
quality leaders may be more efficient when beginning
the process of forming a coalition.
2. People and organizations that work together can
leverage their resources and skills.
3. Coalitions often command more attention than
individual members.

Community Action Guide
Coalition Structure
In order to be effective, a coalition should determine
how it will be structured and how it will function from
an operational perspective.
Questions to answer:
• Who will lead the coalition?
• Who should make up the membership?
• What staff, if any, is needed? Does the staff
need to be full- or part-time?
Additional operational considerations that need to
be addressed:
• Who will chair meetings?
• How will the chair be selected?
• When, where and how often will the coalition meet?
• How will agendas be set?
• What is expected of members? Will the coalition use
membership agreements to formalize commitments?
• Who is responsible for administrative functions such
as meeting arrangements, agenda distribution, minutes,
and follow-up?
• Will the coalition need a budget, and if yes, who will serve
as the fiscal agent?
Leadership
Perhaps one of the most critical first steps in this journey
is to identify and engage passionate, committed leaders.
These few individuals are catalysts who can begin strategic
planning, engage the community, recruit and develop a
strong coalition, lead concerted public policy and advocacy
efforts to create systems change in communities, and help
assure sustainability of efforts.
There are two types of volunteer leaders that might be
involved in community action – figurehead leaders and
actively engaged leaders.
Figurehead Leaders
A figurehead leader might be an individual, or individuals,
who lend his or her name and image to efforts, but who
might not provide much hands-on involvement. This type of
tip
Offering food and time for
networking during meetings will
entice new individuals to join and
is an added value to membership.
tip
Be realistic in your expectations.
Prominent individuals usually have
extremely limited free time. They might
appear at high-profile events such as
kick-off meetings, ribbon cuttings,
or awards functions. But generally
they are not going to be available to
take part in operational activities
of your community effort such
as committee meetings.
7. Questions to discuss during your leadership search:
1. Does it make sense to have a figure-head leader
for the group?
2. Who are prominent figures in your community with
a passion for health and well-being?
3. Who are the people in your community with a
reputation of getting things done?
Staff Leadership
Some community-based initiatives are fortunate to have
assigned staff members. Staff might be individuals from a
lead agency or organization whose time has been allocated
specifically to the initiative. Alternatively, a grant or other
funding mechanism might enable an initiative to secure a
staff person (or people).
Staff who are involved in community-based initiatives at a
leadership level, usually require many of the competencies
of volunteer leadership. In addition, they are likely to also
have responsibilities such as:
• Managing finances
• Preparing reports and updates for funders and
other key partners
• Assuring that plans are developed and
appropriately monitored
• Ensuring smooth operational functions of activities
• Providing adequate communication with leadership and
coalition members
• Keeping track of volunteer assignments and assuring
follow-up is conducted
• Serving as the point-of-contact for media and
policy makers.
individual might be recruited as an “Honorary Chairperson”
of a coalition or partnership. These individuals are typically
celebrities, professional sports figures, CEOs of major
businesses, or high-ranking elected officials. His or her
position and other time commitments often preclude them
from becoming engaged significantly in ongoing activities,
but he or she can bring several important resources to the
table. These include:
• The prominent status of some people is enough to
attract others into a coalition or group.
• This type of leader is often able to facilitate networking
opportunities and open doors to other resources that
have value for the community initiative.
• If a community leader has significant resources at
his or her disposal, he or she may be in a position
to provide direct financial or in-kind support.
• Prominent community figures often are excellent
spokespersons for your issue or cause, especially
before policy-making groups, foundations and media.
Actively Engaged Leaders
An actively engaged leader is someone who has demonstrated
leadership capabilities, is committed to improvement in the
community, and is willing to give his or her time to be actively
involved in your efforts. Initially you might identify a small
number of these leaders to help your community initiative
get off the ground. This type of leader is typically someone
who is already engaged and passionate about your issue or
cause. Actively engaged leaders might be an officer or
senior staff member of an agency that shares common
goals or missions with your community issues.
You might recruit several leaders who can function as
an executive committee. The roles may transition as
your coalition or group grows, though hopefully these
leaders will remain involved and assume roles such as
committee chairs.
Responsibilities for actively engaged leaders may include:
• Setting agendas
• Helping identify and recruit coalition members
• High-level strategic planning
• Facilitating meetings
• Identifying and securing resources (both financial
and in-kind)
• Serving as a media spokesperson
• Building sustainability
• Making presentations to community and business groups
tip
For larger coalitions, it may
be beneficial to designate a
leadership team or ad-hoc group
to assist in key decision making
and directing the coalition.

Members
When selecting the members of a coalition, it’s important
to ask which persons or groups have a vested interest
in improving the physical activity, health and wellness
environment within your community.
The following list is not intended to be a complete inventory
of the types of organizations, but serves as a guide to help
you get started. The actual organizations you engage for
your local action should be representative of your community,
and the diversity, talent and resources that are available.
Some examples are:
• Area businesses
• Chambers of commerce
• City and county health departments
• Community groups and organizations
• Developers/builders
• Environmental groups
• Exercise and rehabilitation professionals
• Faith-based leaders
• Farmers and community market groups
• Food/nutrition groups
• Government agencies
• Health agencies
• Health care professionals
• Health and fitness clubs
• Law enforcement or public safety
• Local universities and community colleges
• Neighborhood associations
• Parks and recreation department professionals
• Property managers
• Realtors/real-estate developers
• Retail establishments and shopping centers
• School districts
• Students
• Teachers
• Transportation experts
• Urban planners
• Zoning department
Coalition Building and Pitfalls
Coalition Building
There are excellent sources that outline approaches
to coalition building – several are included in the
Tools and Resources document available at
www.americanfitnessindex.org. There are, however, a few
factors that are critical to success that you should keep in
mind, no matter what your coalition building process.
tip
Once a core group of stakeholders
are engaged, you may want to consider
being inclusive of anyone interested in
participating, including community
residents. Forming a coalition by only
inviting members may overlook
valuable partners that could provide
long-term support and resources.
9. Coalition Pitfalls
Often efforts at building an effective coalition fail. Be aware
of potential pitfalls. Go through this list with your group and
talk about how you can deal with these issues. You might
consider setting up ground rules or bylaws.
• Lack of clear leadership
• No plan, unclear goals/objectives, or lack of data
to support objective outcomes
• Trying to focus too broadly, rather than on a few
strategic issues
• No defined decision-making process
• Impatience expecting change to occur instantly
• Inadequate, infrequent, or irregular follow-up
• Inadequate communication – especially
between meetings
• One agency having too much perceived or real authority
• Competition or conflict among members
• Too many meetings, meetings that last too long, or hard
to get to meeting locations
• Holding meetings too frequently or too infrequently
• Not enough funding to cover basic operating costs
• Staff/member turnover and burnout
• Language and cultural barriers in multi-lingual and
multi-cultural communities
tip
Hosting training sessions may
benefit a member’s understanding of the
coalition approach, while also adding
value to the member experience.
1. Set clear goals. Later in this guide, there is a
chapter that addresses planning. A clear plan is vital
to keep your efforts on track. This can be especially
important if you have a diverse membership, since
coalition members often bring their own organizations’
goals and agendas to the table. As ideas and issues
arise, continually ask the question, “How does this relate
to the coalition’s mission, goals and objectives?”
2. Communicate clearly, adequately
and regularly.
3. Listen to opposing points of view. Often
coalitions are comprised of like-minded individuals.
But opposing views and opinions can provide insight
and information that could be overlooked if it is not
sought and valued. One way to gather this input is to
talk with those who oppose your efforts. Find out why
they oppose your efforts. What concerns do they have?
Can you address those concerns? Are these individuals
seeing potential problems that you are missing?
4. Determine a decision-making process
and stick with it. It may be that decisions are made
by a majority vote, consensus, or by sub-committees
charged with making decisions on specific issues.
Whatever process you have, stick with it and don’t
spend time rehashing or questioning decisions.
5. Determine how tasks will be delegated
and what the process for follow-up and
reporting will be.
6. Recognize and celebrate successes and
highlight members for his or her work in
the coalition. This provides momentum and helps
eliminate burnout.
tip
Under the Affordable Care Act, the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) now requires
hospitals with 501(c)(3) status to conduct
community health assessments and adopt an
implementation strategy. Many have dedicated
staff organizing these assessments through the
use of community coalitions. Research active
coalitions in your community to ensure you’re
not duplicating efforts already underway. (V)

• Who needs to be at the table?
• What are the various roles and responsibilities of
coalition members?
• Will the coalition need sub-committees to address
specific issues?
• To whom is the coalition accountable?
• What resources are already in place or available?
• What resources are needed?
• What is the intended timeframe for the coalition?
• What is the plan for sustainability?
Vision
Step one for successful planning is to define the vision. The
vision states the ideal conditions for your community and how
things would look if the issues were perfectly addressed.
An effective vision statement is:
• Easily understood
• Broad enough to allow for diverse perspectives
• Inspiring and uplifting
• Easy to communicate
In this age of social media, a good rule to follow is for your
vision statement to be 140 characters or less. If that’s not
enough, it should be brief enough to fit on a T-shirt.
coalition planning
“Begin with the end in mind.” This advice is the second
“habit” from Steven Covey’s quintessential self-help book,
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The same is true for
effective planning: a clear vision and agreement of the end
goals is imperative for success.
Effective planning:
• Provides a clear focus
• Supports monitoring and assessment of results
and impact
• Facilitates new program development
• Enables an organization or coalition to systematically
look into the future

sustainability and other topics
mentioned throughout the guide.
Most organizations and coalitions understand the need
for annual program objectives and a program-focused
work plan. Funders typically require them and they
provide a basis for setting priorities, organizing work
and assessing progress.
Upon launching a coalition, there needs to be a discussion
and eventually agreement on the vision, mission, goals and
objectives of the coalition.
Once those details are established, the coalition should then
address these critical questions:
• What needs to change in the community?
• What do we expect to accomplish?
11. Mission
Taking the vision a step further, the mission statement
should convey what your coalition is going to do and why
it’s going to do it.
A well-crafted mission statement is:
• Concise
• Outcome-focused
• Inclusive
Root Cause Analysis
A root cause analysis is a strategic means of identifying the
problem(s) causing the issues you are addressing. Without
this step, your action plan may not include solutions that
address the core issues.
To get to the root causes, it’s important to create an
exhaustive list of the underlying factors responsible for
the problem. This process should involve a great deal of
brainstorming and a wide variety of stakeholders.
It is not feasible or desirable for a coalition to target each of
the factors identified during the root cause analysis process.
To narrow down the factors to a manageable and appropriate
list, each factor needs to be scored and ranked. The highest
ranked factors will then be used to develop coalition goals
and objectives.
Goals and Objectives
The next step in planning is to prepare goals and objectives.
Goals are generalized statements describing the desired
change or outcome. Ideally, goals answer these
three questions:
• What is the problem?
• How will change be directed?
• Who is the target group?
tip
Allow for some flexibility with goals and
objectives to be in different stages such as
planning, implementation and evaluation.
Taking the goals a step further involves developing
objectives. SMART is an acronym for the five components
of effective objectives:
• Specific – target a specific area for improvement
• Measurable – quantifiable or at least suggest an
indicator of progress
• Attainable – what can be realistically achieved, given
available resources
• Relevant – supports or is in alignment with other goals
• Time-specific – specify when the result(s) can
be achieved
Note: measurable objectives are essential for monitoring
and evaluation.
Strategic Planning
Strategies explain how the coalition will achieve its
objectives. Generally, coalitions will plan a wide variety of
strategies that include people from all the different sectors
of the community. An action plan will detail exactly how the
strategies will be implemented to accomplish the objectives.
Many communities develop programs and events as part of
its strategic plan, but a more sustainable approach to gain
traction is known as “Policy, Systems and Environmental
Change” (PSE). The major difference between PSE
compared to traditional approaches such as events and
programs is that the PSE approach is aimed at long-term,
sustainable and ongoing behavioral change.
The reason PSE is useful for improving health in a community
is because encouraging people to live healthier lives isn’t
just about changing individual behaviors and creating good
habits. Communities need to be places that encourage and
promote healthy choices. A PSE approach makes healthier
choices a real, feasible option for every member of the
community by looking at the laws, rules and environments
that impact behavior.
PSE Definitions:
• Policy interventions are laws, ordinances, resolutions,
mandates, regulations or rules (both formal and informal).
• Systems interventions are changes that affect all
elements of an organization, institution or system.
• Environmental interventions involve physical or material
changes to the economic, social or physical environment.
ACSM American Fitness Index®

Community Action Guide
Advocacy is the act of supporting or recommending a
cause or course of action. As a supplement to a PSE
approach, advocacy focuses on educating the public,
community decision makers and policy makers.
In the area of physical activity, governmental, business and
community leaders need to understand the impact of your
mission, using information that is credible and valuable.
Monitoring and Evaluation
A critical step of effective planning is monitoring and
evaluation. The evaluation process helps form a clear
understanding of what progress is being made toward
your goals and objectives. You will be able to distinguish
between what is working and what is not working.
Other benefits of evaluation include:
• Enables you to measure and celebrate success
• Builds trust within your coalition
• Assists funding partners in making future
funding decisions
• Provides an opportunity for you to prioritize, revise or
discontinue strategies.
Additional questions to consider when planning evaluation:
1. Who will use the evaluation information?
2. What is being evaluated?
3. What methods will be used to conduct the evaluation?
4. How will the data be analyzed?
5. How can the results be put to use?
6. Would the coalition benefit from a sub-committee
focused on evaluation?
7. Does the coalition need outside assistance
with evaluation?
tip
The impact of coalition efforts will take
time before significant improvements are
measurable in a community. Celebrate
the small successes and look for both
long-term organizational strategies and
diverse, long-term funding in order to
create sustainable change in the
culture of health for a community.

13. moving forward
By reviewing this guide, you’ve taken an important first step
in addressing community-level issues to improve health and
fitness of your community. Now it’s time to get moving!
As you lay groundwork for your efforts, one of the best
things you can do is be a role model and advocate for good
health and physical activity. Here are a few simple steps:
1. Make a commitment to gradually increase your aerobic
physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-
intensity, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic
physical activity a week. For additional health benefits,
muscle-strengthening activities that involve all major
muscle groups also should be included two or more
days a week.(VI)
2. Model healthy behavior by incorporating physical activity
into the daily schedule and limiting sedentary activities.
3. Get a pedometer or physical activity tracker and
start counting your steps and set targets to eventually
accumulate 10,000 steps each day.
4. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper to
educate the public and bring awareness to the physical
inactivity epidemic in your community. Use data from the
AFI Data Report to support your argument.
5. Join an existing coalition or create your own using the
help of the AFI Community Action Guide!
