• Corporate Authors:
  National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (U.S.). Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity.
• Description:
  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state health
  
  departments collaborate on a number of areas to prevent and control
  
  obesity and other chronic diseases. One of those areas is physical activity.
  
  These highlights focus on state health departments’ coordinated efforts
  
  to implement strategies that encourage increased physical activity. Story
  
  highlights include efforts around Complete Streets, Safe Routes to Schools,
  
  and worksite physical activity.
  
  The states were selected because their efforts include
  
  •• Comprehensive Change—activities enable the alteration of broader
  
  societal trends, and maintain or enhance physical environments in
  
  a state to support and provide more opportunities for people to be
  
  physically active.
  
  •• Collaboration—state health departments played a major role working
  
  with partners or local communities to move activities forward.
  
  •• Significant Reach—activities have the potential to affect a large
  
  proportion of the intended target population.
  
  •• Replicability/transportability—activities can be duplicated and similar
  
  effects can be achieved by other similar entities.
  
  •• Potential for sustainability—activities and effects can endure without
  
  continued financial and programmatic investment.
