Description:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognizes the importance of a population-based approach to reduce sodium consumption. In 2010, CDC‘s Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention launched the Sodium Reduction in Communities Program (SRCP) to reduce sodium intake by helping create healthier food environments at the local level. Six SRCP communities are putting into action varied strategies to increase the availability and accessibility of healthier foods in schools, restaurants, hospitals, congregate sites (e.g., senior meal centers, correctional facilities), grocery stores, convenience stores, and government and private worksites. Learn more about SRCP strategies at www.cdc.gov/salt.
Community-based efforts to reduce sodium are relatively new to public health and have few evidence-based implementation models. To aid public health practitioners considering sodium reduction work, this document provides overarching lessons learned from the planning and early implementation stages of the SRCP initiatives.
