Answer each of the following questions:

1. Conduct a literature search using words such as planning,
evaluation, program, and a health condition of interest
to you. Which journals publish articles about health program
planning and health program evaluations? What are the current
trends in the field as reflected in the published literature
that you reviewed?

2. List four health programs in your community. Do they have
coalitions? What is the composition of each coalition? Does
there appear to be a relationship between coalition diversity
and health program success?

3. Given the many different ways that planning bodies can accomplish
their tasks and the diverse backgrounds of those
involved, planners assume different roles in various situations.
For example, planners can act as facilitators and educators. What
other roles might planners take on to be effective at planning?
