Population Approaches to Active Living and Healthy Eating Behavior Change

Monday, November 2, 2015: 2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Oral
As chronic diseases continue to top the charts of causes of deaths in America, primary prevention efforts supporting healthier lifestyle choices, environmental, and policy changes are needed. Collaboration between community assets is needed to improve a consumer's ability to take an active role in their overall health and quality of life. By increasing collaboration between community partners and assets, community members will develop a stronger connection with local resources and become empowered to develop health policies that promote healthy eating and physical activity.
Session Objectives: Identify challenges in evaluating policy and environmental change components of public health initiatives. Examine the steps for planning, implementing and evaluating a health eating and physical activity campaign. Describe the need for more culturally and linguistically competent methods in promoting health behavior and policy changes in underserved communities.
