A Decade of Advocacy: The Strategic Alliance for Healthy Food and Activity Environments [Case Study]

This case study explores what it takes to reframe the debate around community health and well-being from a focus on the individual to one that includes environmental influences, corporate practices, and government responsibility. It also discusses which strategies hold the greatest promise for improving the landscape of opportunities wherein people make decisions about their health, and how advocacy groups can work together to most effectively achieve shared goals. This case study was created by the Strategic Alliance, a network of 15 California-based organizations that came together to promote healthy food and activity environments. This document provides a roadmap for effective collaboration, and highlights the impact a group of organizations can have when working together to effect change.
