Abstract

With greater understanding of the impact of social determinants on child health, advocacy has become essential to promoting children's health, particularly at the population level. Successful advocacy requires coalition building. Steps on how to create a productive coalition, including the selection of partner organizations, understanding how these groups enhance your activities, and strict definition of assigned roles is reviewed. Examples of successful coalitions are reviewed. A list of potential partners, who focus on various aspects of child health, is provided.
