Community Coalition Action Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
CCAT is comprised of fourteen major constructs. Twenty-three practice-proven propositions relate to the various constructs. Each of these constructs and the literature that relates to them will be addressed in the following sections. The CCAT constructs and propositions provide an underlying framework for understanding the processes, structures, and outcomes experienced by effective community coalitions. The literature supports these constructs and further extends the knowledge about what makes coalitions effective in addressing intermediate and long-term health outcomes.
