Nutrition:
The Provider met with three food service management companies to identify and address anticipated systematic barriers to implementation.
The Provider identified existing relationships with approximately 77 schools who independently manage their food service and effective communication strategies to recruit them to participate in the nutrition initiative.
Food labeling system signage and food labels were provided to Metz Associates (food service management company) to be distributed to pilot schools for implementation in late April. The Grantee worked with Metz Associates to identify the 20 schools to participate in the nutrition pilot.
Physical Activity:
The Provider delivered a technical assistance workshop in order to train community-based project coordinators and walking group leaders in the development and implementation of walking groups.
A walking group leader manual was developed and distributed to the identified walking group leader in each target community.
The Provider identified types of signage to be used to mark local walking routes. The design for the signage was completed. The number and types of signs to be purchased were determined. Print and electronic materials were designed to promote walking routes and groups.
The Provider received maps of all 27 proposed walking routes from six target counties.
Tobacco:
During this quarter, in the 18 target counties 16 volunteer community organizations and 154 people were trained in Young Lungs At Play (YLAP). There were 26 community presentations made to local governments, and 149 policy makers were contacted. There were 10 youth organizations advocating in communities (Teens Against Tobacco Use groups, high school students, Leos Club, school districts, 4-H Clubs) and 16 additional ordinances were passed this quarter, for a cumulative total of 47. A total of 110 parks and playgrounds have been designated tobacco free; and signs are pending installation.
