A coalition is transitioning leadership from a founding director to a new coordinator. Which action MOST protects coalition continuity?
Answer: Developing and documenting a formal succession plan with knowledge transfer
A formal succession plan with documented processes ensures institutional knowledge is transferred and coalition operations continue uninterrupted.
Which of the following BEST describes the role of 'environmental strategies' within a coalition's prevention plan?
Answer: Modifying policies, systems, or physical environments to reduce risk factors
Environmental strategies change the context in which behavior occurs—such as reducing outlet density or enacting social host ordinances—rather than targeting individuals.
When a coalition conducts a 'SWOT analysis,' strengths and weaknesses refer to which environment?
Answer: Internal coalition characteristics
In SWOT analysis, strengths and weaknesses are internal factors, while opportunities and threats reflect the external environment.
A coalition partner organization withdraws due to internal budget cuts. The BEST immediate response is to:
Answer: Identify which critical functions they performed and redistribute or backfill them
Identifying and redistributing the departing partner's functions prevents gaps in coalition operations and maintains program continuity.
Which data source is typically MOST useful for identifying geographic hotspots of substance use within a community for coalition planning purposes?
Answer: Local emergency department visit data linked to substance use
Local ED data provides geographically specific, real-time community-level substance use signals that national surveys cannot capture at the neighborhood level.
A coalition member who is also a licensed treatment provider wants to promote their agency's services at coalition meetings. The BEST way to handle this is to:
Answer: Establish a conflict-of-interest policy that all members must follow
A written conflict-of-interest policy provides clear, consistent guidance that protects the coalition's integrity and applies equally to all members.
Which characteristic MOST distinguishes a 'collaboration' from a 'coordination' relationship between organizations?
Answer: Collaboration creates new structures and shared goals beyond each organization's individual mission
Collaboration is the deepest level of inter-organizational relationship, characterized by shared vision, joint structures, and outcomes that transcend any single member's mission.
