View Award Description

Be Wild, Be Wonderful, Be Healthy: Improving Access to Healthy Foods and Physical Activity Opportunities in McDowell and Clay Counties - West Virginia (WV) is in critical need for increased opportunities and access to both physical activity (PA) and healthy, affordable foods. The 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) provides compelling data which show that WV ranks first in the nation for prevalence of obesity (37.7% adults), heart attacks (7.5%), coronary artery disease (8%), and overall cardiovascular diseases (14.6%) and second for diabetes prevalence (15.0%). Improving availability and access to safe places for PA and access to healthy foods are imperative to help prevent and potentially treat obesity and the subsequent development of chronic disease. The capacity for WV and its local communities to address the barriers related to access of safe PA opportunities as well as affordable, healthy foods is increasing as more state and local leaders have begun working on strategies to improve the health and wellbeing of WV communities. The target counties for this project are Clay and McDowell counties in WV, identified in the NOFO because of adult obesity rates > 40% (BRFSS, 2015). The purpose of this project is to build upon and strengthen the existing capacity and partnerships to develop targeted approaches to improve access to healthy foods and PA opportunities for all residents of Clay and McDowell counties. Implementation of obesity-prevention strategies will be delivered through a hybrid implementation-model. Working with both ECEs and community coalitions will increase residents’ opportunities and access to PA and healthy eating. Through the implementation of community-based participatory model and the establishment of community coalitions, targeted programming efforts will be implemented in each of the project counties focused on improving access to healthy foods and access/connectivity to safe places for physical activity. West Virginia University Extension Service is the lead organization for this project. Through Extension’s local and statewide partnerships, the project team and community coalitions will work collaboratively to develop sustainable strategies to address both childhood and adult obesity levels.
