Coalitions are active partnerships in which all participants share leadership and decision making to some degree.Unfortunately,some community health efforts view community residents only as sources of information and receivers of interventions; this limits residents to passive participation.Gatekeepers refer to formal or informal community leaders who create opportunities for nurses to meet diverse members of the community.A focus group is similar to an interview in that it collects data mainly through asking open-ended questions to participants but to a small group rather than an individual.
