Community Partnership Strategies in Health Campaigns
This chapter reviews lessons learned from numerous community studies and experiences that have employed a community involvement orientation. Commitment of campaign planners and professionals to community empowerment and capacity building not only adds to the material and human resources needed for any given campaign but also increases the likelihood that campaign results endure beyond the campaign or project period (Thompson & Winner, 1999). The chapter discusses four major themes: 1) community collaboration, 2) community change theory, 3) a five-stage model of basic strategies in planning and organizing at the community level, and 4) a summary of lessons learned and future research implications.
