Poor diet and inadequate physical activity cause more than 300,000 deaths each year and are major contributors to disabilities that result from diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and stroke.
Getting people to make healthier choices, however, is no easy task.
Now you can join other agencies, programs, organizations, and schools in a coordinated attack on inactivity and inadequate nutrition. Developed by the state Nutrition and Physical Activity Work Group (NUPAWG) with assistance from the Centers for Disease Control Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity (CDC-DNPA), Guidelines for Comprehensive Programs to Promote Healthy Eating and Physical Activity shows you how to create or improve your own nutrition, physical activity, and obesity control programs.

Model programs to show you what approaches have worked for other organizations
Sample activities that you can use when you implement your own programs
Contact names and numbers for people in charge of existing programs

Leadership, planning and management, and coordination
Environmental, systems, and policy change
Mass communications
Community programs and community development
Programs for children and youth
Health care delivery
Surveillance, epidemiology, and research
The book also presents two state funding case studies to help you estimate the funding you'll need to build a comprehensive program.
