| The purpose of this session is to present a model of statewide community activation for health promotion. The Rhode Island Prevention Coalition (PREVCO) is a public-private partnership of health care providers, insurers, voluntary agencies, universities, professional organizations, and others. Currently, PREVCO's target health behavior is physical inactivity, with other health issues to be addressed in the future. The session will (1) Present supplemental data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFSS) conducted in Rhode Island during March to April, 1998 as a data framework for our discussion of physical activity; (2) Discuss how the coalition was formed and resources were developed as a model of a public-private partnership for health promotion; (3) Describe how the coalition organized and funded a successful grants program and other activities targeting physical inactivity;(4) Articulate the process of implementing Path to Health, an environmental change physical activity promotion, as a statewide physical activity initiative, evolving from our grants program;(5) Present our methods and initial data from evaluating the Path to Health program;(6) Demonstrate the use of our website as a promotional and educational tool. In an era of constricted resources for public expenditures on community-wide health promotion efforts, this model partnership provides an innovative way to attain important public health goals | ||||
