Hi Madeline,

Are you referring to the "push-pull capacity model" presented by Orleans, Gruman and Anderson (1999)? If so, there are several documents that I have found related to that. A search of the model itself and/or authors leads to many other references. I hope this will be helpful.

I also believe the relevance of push-pull strategies is mentioned in:

Douglas R (1998) A Framework for Healthy Alliances. In, A. Scriven, Alliances in Health Promotion. Theory and Practice. Basingstoke, Macmillan.
