HEALTH PROMOTION IMPLICATIONS

Campus as Community

Community Coalition Defined

―… a group of individuals representing diverse organizations, factions, or constituencies within the community who agree to work together to achieve a common goal‖

(Feighery & Rogers, 1990)

Social-Ecological Model of Health

Societal Community Relationship Individual

Characteristics of the individual (biological, personal history, attitudinal factors ) Proximal social relationships (peers/colleagues, partners, family members) Community contexts in which social relationships are embedded (residence hall, department, workplace, campus, etc.) Larger societal factors (norms, policies, laws, etc.) Based on graphic from Kathleen C. Basile, Ph.D., of the CDC’s Division of Violence Prevention

Inclusion of Faculty and Staff

 Based on the ecological model, faculty and staff must

be included in campus health promotion efforts both as students’ proximal relationships and as target populations in their own right

 Faculty and staff serve as role models for students,

and students impact faculty and staff

 ―Health promotion services in colleges and

universities support the academic mission by engaging students, faculty, and staff in leading healthier lives and building supportive and sustainable environments, so that health can advance the capacity to learn and work.‖

CAS Professional Standards for Higher Education

Campus Coalitions

Coalitions are a promising practice on campuses supported by:

 SPHPHE 2—Collaborative Practice

• Advocating a shared vision of health promotion is the

responsibility of all campus community members, and developing and participating in campus and community partnerships that advance health promotion initiatives

 Part 10–CAS Professional Standards for Higher

Education calls for ―sustaining partnerships‖

 Healthy Campus 2010 (2020) calls for

collaboration among campus leaders, faculty, and staff.

Coalition Tasks

 Coalitions work to prevent or reduce a

community problem by:

• Analyzing the problem
• Gathering data and assessing needs
• Developing an action plan with identified

solutions

• Implementing those solutions
• Reaching community-level outcomes
• Creating social change

(Butterfoss & Kegler, 2009)

Coalition Benefits

 Exchange of knowledge, ideas, and strategies  Become involved in new, broader issues without

assuming sole responsibility

 Demonstrate and develop community support  Maximize the power of individuals and groups through

collective action

 Build a constituency for a given issue  Change community norms and standards  Minimize duplication and use resources efficiently  Share costs and associated risks

(Butterfoss & Kegler, 2009)

Coalition Challenges

 Promised resources may not be available  Conflict over goals and methods  Conflicting interests  Loss of autonomy and the ability to unilaterally

control outcomes

 Loss of resources (time, money, information, status)  Possible delays in solving problems

 Sustaining participation, work ethic, and morale

upon competing priorities, time limitations, and attrition

(Butterfoss & Kegler, 2009)

Emerging Research/Evidence

 Measures of coalition effectiveness

• Internal functioning
• Community Outcomes

 Research challenges

• Methodologically difficult
• Assumes coalitions function as should
• Little research on campus community

coalitions

 Coalitions to reduce high risk alcohol use

are a NIAAA Tier 2 evidence-based strategy

Evidence-Based Recommendations for Coalition-Building

 Collaborative Capacity is essential within:

• Members
• Relationships
• Organizational Structure
• Programs Sponsored

(Foster-Fishman, Berkowitz, Jacobston, & Allen, 2001)

 6 coalition-building factors may enhance

coalition effectiveness:

• Formalization/rules
• Leadership style
• Active member participation
• Diverse membership
• Member agency collaboration
• Group cohesion

(Zakocs & Edwards, 2006)
