Developing and maintaining state-wide adolescent pregnancy prevention coalitions: a preliminary investigation

John B. Nezlek and Joseph Galano

Department of Psychology, College of William & Mary Williamsburg, VA 23187–8795, USA

This paper presents the results of a study of statewide adolescent pregnancy prevention coalitions. Key informants in five states throughout the southern United States were given semi-structured interviews regarding the adolescent pregnancy prevention coalitions in their states. From these interviews and other documents, conclusions were drawn regarding the nature and importance of the environments within which these coalitions operate, the universe of activities in which coalitions engage, and the stages of development of these coalitions. Katz and Kahns model of social organizations served as the basis for understanding coalitions in terms of these three considerations. Future research should consider the unity of organizational models that can explain more fully the organization-committee hybrid structure that tends to characterize these coalitions.
