View Award Description

The State Physical Activity and Nutrition Program - Texas is a large and diverse state that is home to more than 29 million people in 254 counties. It contains three of the largest metro areas in the nation but also contains a significant rural population. Texans experience high levels of obesity in adults. The statewide prevalence was 36.1 percent in 2021. There were also an estimated 20.3 percent of Texan children ages 10 to 17 years with obesity in 2021. This was an increase from 15.5 percent in 2018. Non Hispanic Black Texans and Hispanic Texans also experience a disproportionately high burden of obesity. Obesity rates for these populations in 2021 were 43.8 percent and 42.7 percent respectively. Approximately 44.5 percent of Texan adults with obesity had hypertension and 42.3 percent had hyperlipidemia. 18.1 percent had diabetes and 6.0 percent had heart disease. The Obesity Prevention Program (OPP) within the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) works with a robust network of state and local partners on nutrition physical activity and obesity prevention initiatives to address these outcomes and disparities through the Texas Physical Activity and Nutrition Program (TPAN). State partners include units within DSHS and external entities that have the ability to impact state systems and networks of community sites. Local partners include nine local health entities that serve high obesity regions and have strong public health infrastructure and staff capacity to implement interventions. These partners have collaborated to implement successful model projects such as nutrition policy and inventory improvements in the Houston Food Bank and Outdoor Learning Environment Texas (OLE! Texas). Other projects include Texas Healthy Building Blocks (THBB) and other localized interventions related to improved food service guidelines (FSGs) active transportation and breastfeeding in various settings. DSHS is using this funding to expand TPAN to increase the number and reach of initiatives to reduce obesity rates and health disparities across the state. This initiative will increase the number of Texans who eat healthy and engage in physical activity on a regular basis by improving policies practices and environments in the places they live learn work and play. Specific outcomes include an increased number of 1) places with FSGs. 2) fruit and vegetable voucher and produce prescription programs. 3) places that implement supportive breastfeeding interventions. 4) communities with planning and transportation interventions that support safe and accessible physical activity. and 5) number of early care and education (ECE) systems implementing standards.
