• Triggering events, wake-up calls, urgent surgery;
• Building a guiding coalition;
• Diagnosis, planning courses of action and mobilizing resources;
• Field-testing and implementation;
• Impact evaluation, stabilization and on-going prevention. This approach is illustrated by a lead story & case studies. The Guide ends with 30 practical tools to help translate this approach into action.
