Smoke-free Air Coalitions in Georgia and Armenia

The intervention approach will be informed by the Community Coalition Action Theory (CCAT) developed by Butterfoss and Kegler. CCAT posits that coalitions form due to a threat, opportunity, or mandate. Public health center staff will form a coalition by recruiting partner organizations from civil society and other government sectors (e.g., health care, education), conduct situational assessment, and develop and implement action plans to promote the adoption and enforcement of smoke-free policies in public indoor and and outdoor spaces.
