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 put into action strategies that encourage increased physical activity. Story highlights include efforts around Complete Streets, built environment action institutes around community planning, and joint use agreements.
The highlighted states were selected because their efforts include
COMPREHENSIVE CHANGE—activities that enhance
physical environments in a state to support and provide more opportunities for people to be physically active.
COLLABORATION—state health departments playing a
major role working with partners or local ommunities to move activities forward.
SIGNIFICANT REACH—activities that have the potential to affect a large proportion of the intended target population.
REPLICABILITY AND TRANSPORTABILITY—activities that
can be duplicated with similar effects that can be achieved by other entities.
POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINABILITY—activities and
effects that can endure without continued financial and programmatic investment.
