Exploring Collaboration and Building Community Organization Capacity for Population Health Promotion in an Inner-City Neighbourhood

Abstract

Community organizations are essential to inner-city neighbourhoods. They have a fundamental role to play in promoting the health and social well-being of community members. However, it is not well known how these organizations work together and within their community to promote health equity and social justice. The goal of this study was to make visible the connections, collaboration, and linkages existing between two organizations and to disseminate the results from the study to both the service and academic communities to further the growth of research on this topic.
