6) Emphasizes public health problems of local relevance & ecological approach; 7.) Involves systems development through a cyclical/iterative process; 8.) Disseminates findings/knowledge to all partners ; 9.) Requires a long-term process & commitment to sustainability; 10.) Addresses issues of race/class'/racism and embraces “cultural humility"

How would your organize your community planning group (co-chairs? work groups? organizational tools such as org charts, timelines? Example resources to guide organizational structures that you could cite?)

Building on strengths and resources within the community, can be incorporated by identifying cbos that may have similar goals to your intervention. utilize what programs or interventions they already have, to build on. For example, if the org already provides programs and methods of surveying thier participants it may easier to just use thier existing methods.
