BSHS 485 Wk 4 Team – Developing a Coalition

There are different methods of addressing community needs. In this assignment, your team is responsible for working together to develop a community coalition to address the need for a tobacco control program.

Imagine your team conducted a community needs assessment and determined that there is a need to develop a tobacco control program in your community. Your team has decided that the best way to begin is to develop a coalition, and you must present this idea to your community leaders.
