  • Objectives: This study attempts to identify and categorize the types of collaboration that community health centers in Seoul planned to form in order to conduct health promotion programs. Methods: A content analysis was performed by reviewing the Phase 4 Community Health Plans for 2007-2010 of the 25 districts in Seoul. Results: In total, 614 cases of collaboration were identified which the community health centers in Seoul had planned for 2007-2010. These cases were grouped into 10 categories of collaboration activities: offering direct services through external venues utilizing external facilities; providing health education materials to partner agencies promoting health messages through media; running committees with collaborators inviting external experts; participating in external events; referring clients to external health services; connecting services; and miscellaneous. These types and cases were compared across community health promotion programs. Conclusion: Collaboration and partnership should be clearly defined for community health research and practice. Further research is needed to investigate the potential gap between plans for collaboration and actual collaboration activities, and to develop Korean models for collaboration building for community health promotion.
