- Appears to take several years of sustained efforts for
communities to reap benefits: no quick fix
- Different features of community efforts are important;
there is no “single” or “simple” solution
- Increase intensity: broader reach, longer duration,
multiple strategy
- More effort needed to change some behaviors, such as
eating from a fast food restaurant, eating dinner with family, and eating while watching TV

- Simultaneously target multiple behaviors: don’t just
focus on promoting more fruit, vegetables and whole grain – also limit less healthy options such as sugary drinks, sweets and fast food
- Giving information and enhancing skills should
accompany change to food environments
- Environment changes that show promise: restricting
the availability of unhealthy foods, and reducing portion sizes

Lessons Learned on Nutrition Different considerations may be needed for childhood obesity prevention efforts
- Particularly in southern U.S. and rural
communities
- To a lesser extent, depending on community
income and race/ ethnicity

Associations of Com m unity Efforts over Past 6 years w ith Physical Activity
Ritchie et al.. Pediatr Obes 2018;13 Suppl 1:14-26
- An index reflecting the 6-year history of the number of
behavior change strategies used was positively associated with children’s moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
- This association was attenuated with adjustment for
demographic factors
- Moderation analyses found that the association was positive
among non-Hispanic, but not Hispanic, children

Lessons Learned on Physical Activity Community programs and policies to promote physical activity in children may be more successful if they are sustained for several years and employ multiple behavior change strategies Specific street quality attributes are associated with physical activity in youth
