In this activity, you will create a brochure to demonstrate your analysis of how various stakeholders in a coalition work together to impact community health and public health interventions in rural settings. 

Step 1: Review

• Review these four common models of rural health coalitions/partnerships. 

• Integrated Rural Health Networks.
• Telehealth/Telemedicine Networks.
• Collective Impact.
• Community of Practice.

• Choose one model and click on the title to access the associated website. Review the information found on the website and select one (1) example of a real-life coalition that exemplifies the chosen model.

• Access the link of the real-life coalition and study its website, paying attention to: 

• The coalition’s shared goal/s; 
• The stakeholders involved in the coalition; and 
• The functions of the stakeholders. 

Step 2: Assess

• After completing Step 1, you will assess how various stakeholders in a coalition work together to impact community health and public health interventions in rural settings, highlighting the following details:

• The common goal of the coalition.
• The rationale on the need for the coalition.
• Specific stakeholders of the coalition and their roles. 
• A brief description of how the coalition works together.
• The impact of the community health and public health interventions on the rural settings that they serve (eg. success stories/data, testimonials).

Step 3: Design

Select your preferred digital/non-digital tool to create the assessment brochure. You can use features of Word or visual design apps like Canva , Visme and Venngage. To help you out on how to make a brochure, you may view this link for inspiration: https://www.canva.com/create/brochures/.
