Using systems thinking to address a health-based social issue, analyze an organization that uses a
collaboration of several organizations to generate positive social change. Examples of alliances or
collaboratives addressing social change include the STOP Obesity Alliance, National Tobacco Cessation
Collaborative, Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, or other similar organization that utilizes several
organizations to create behavior change. There are many state-based and community-based
alliances/collaboratives that work on social issues in the community, as well.

1. What health-based social or behavioral problem is the collaborative or alliance addressing? Give a brief
overview.
2. How do the organizations collaborate together to address the problem?
3. Who are the stakeholders? Why is this problem important to them?
4. How will they work together to bring solutions?
5. What does the collaborative or alliance do to address the health problem?
6. What other community support will be needed for the collaborative or alliance to be successful?
