Proposed Project
Evaluation of State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to
Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases--Revision--National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDHP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
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 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 the recipient activities as
outlined in the original funding announcement:
Capacity building
Collaboration
Planning
Monitoring the burden of obesity
Intervention
Evaluation
Within each of these areas, the plan identifies specific evaluation
questions that have been chosen for study. The evaluation questions are
asked of the funded states via a web-based data collection system
supported by an electronic database every 6 months during the funding
cycle. The project will continue to be conducted over a 3-year period.
There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate
in the survey.
