Proposed Project

    Evaluation of 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).
    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 will likely lead 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 
program has identified 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 six months 
during the funding cycle. The proposed project will be conducted over a 
three-year period. There is no cost to the respondents. The total 
burden hours are 480.
