Proposed Project
Evaluation Questions for State Nutrition and Physical Activity
Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases--New--National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDHP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
[[Page 35350]]
Background
The ``State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent
Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases'' project was established by CDC to
prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases by supporting
States in the development and implementation of nutrition and physical
activity interventions, particularly through population-based
strategies such as policy-level changes, environmental supports and the
social marketing process. The goal of the programs in this project is
to attain population-based behavior change such as increased physical
activity and better dietary habits; this leads to a reduction in the
prevalence of obesity, and ultimately to a reduction in the prevalence
of obesity-related chronic diseases.
The evaluation questions for ``State Nutrition and Physical
Activity Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases'' have
been designed to focus on three primary areas: (1) CDC training and
technical assistance; (2) State Plan development; and (3) State
interventions. Within each of these primary evaluation areas, the plan
identifies specific evaluation questions that have been chosen for
study. The evaluation questions will be asked of the funded states via
a web-based data collection system supported by an electronic database.
This evaluation will take place every 6 months during the funding
cycle. The proposed project will be conducted over a 3-year period.
There is no cost to the respondents.
