Dick: Early Partners engaged in the Planning process
DICK: 1. Develop a coordinated set of messages that can be incorporated into all strategies of the plan. 2. Develop an inventory of the resources available in DuPage County to help children and adolescents enthusiastically make dietary and physical activity choices every day that result in a healthy weight. 3-4. Develop a spectrum of tiered options that providers of health services can adopt, in total or in part, to guide their patients/clients along the process of nutritional and physical activity behavioral change. Develop a spectrum of tiered options that DuPage County schools can adopt, in total or in part, to guide their students and student families along the process of nutritional and physical activity behavioral change. 5. Identify the linkages and interconnections among the resources listed in the FORWARD inventory that would lead to more coordinated, comprehensive, and effective collaborative programs, and actively support partner organizations in solidifying these collaborations
DICK: 6. Develop new resources and programs to meet identified needs where no such resources currently exist. Develop a coordinated outreach program designed to enlist a variety of community resources as ambassadors and teachers disseminating the FORWARD message. 8. Develop a coordinated process for tracking progress in each of the strategies outlined, including a succinct set of indicators that will be tracked to measure the success of the entire FORWARD initiative. 9. Develop a coordinated process for identifying and applying for grants and other forms of financial aid to support any or all of the strategies outlined. At the appropriate time, develop and/or participate in research projects that advance knowledge about childhood obesity and how to combat it.
Maureen: In May of 2009 the FORWARD Advisory Board was formed. Community leaders in all areas of nutrition, healthcare, education, physical activity, public health, and others are engaged for direction. In the summer of 2009 committees were established to conduct initial work- The Data and Research committee- Identifies relevant data and measures the mechanisms, means and timelines that will be employed in order to inform and direct the FORWARD Initiative. You will be hearing a report for this committee today as they are working hard to supply us with baseline DuPage County obesity rates. Their work measures FORWARD’s impact and progress on reversing the trend of obesity. Marketing and Communications Committee- oversees and develops documents, tools, and plans regarding the marketing, promotion, and external communication. Resource and Partnership Building Committee- Identify and link passionate, engaged, like-minded individuals, programs, and agencies in order to promote the exchange of information and opportunities between these entities. A electronic resource inventory will be built and maintained- which is why we have a couple of laptops set up in the registration area today. If you haven’t do so already please fill out the online partnership form which will help us classify you and/or your organization in the FORWARD resource directory.
MAUREEN OCTOBER 2009 First FORWARD Coalition Meeting. FORWARDDupage.org goes live. Online resource inventory is launched. FORWARD Data Snapshot unveils obesity levels in DuPage mirror the national average. Additional resources secured through DuPage medical group and in-kind contributions from Armark, Wheaton Whole Foods NOVEMBER 2009 Long-term FORWARD Vision developed as part of CDC grant application with participation and support from over 20 partner agencies. It entails: A Central Office—with evaluation, , marketing/PR and planning functions Five Regional Offices through a partnership with the YMCA’s Three Centers for Expertise- An expansion of service to include not only children but their families MARCH 2010 FORWARD is launched to the public through the “Spring FORWARD to Better Health” event at Wheaton Whole Foods.

Dr. Buffalo introduces Julie Moreschi
Julie: While the founding members of FORWARD believed there was an obesity issue, and regional and national data supported this supposition, there was no hard evidence at the local level to support this hunch. In June of 2009, FORWARD created the Data and Research committee- Dr. Deepa Handu of Benedictine University and Dr. David Dungan of DuPage Medical Group co-chaired this effort. The committee looked at existing data sources to support this hunch as well as new sources needing to be collected. The committee submitted a proposal to an IRB to allow for research. Last fall the Data committee brought you a Data snapshot, a glimpse into some of the statics regarding overweight and obesity in DuPage County. The committee identified data from a series of existing sources- WIC sites, DuPage County Health Department, Pediatric Practices and Schools. Following that meeting, a subgroup of the full committee continued to meet to refine the data needs and identify a process to collect reliable data for FORWARD.
Julie: FORWARD took an important step this spring in data collection. The data committee worked with the regional office of education to develop a method to collect data from the Illinois School Physicals that children receive before entering grades K, 3, and 9 th grades. The ongoing goal of the committee is to create a surveillance system to collect data on BMI- height and weight in order to track the impact of our efforts over time. We could not have done this without the partnership with the DuPage County Health Department, The Regional Office of Education and the school nurses and superintendents who all made this effort possible. Today what you have in your packets is a supplemental report to the Data Snapshot. This is exciting for FORWARD for three primary reasons: We now have a data collection tool, called Fittrac that was shared with FORWARD by the Regional Office of Education. FORWARD adopted this tool for a minimal cost and will use the database to track obesity over time. We have, through this initial exercise, both worked out the capacity issues with the Fitrack system and engaged the education community in this effort. Many of you may know that School Nurses have been collecting data through the school physicals for years and they were pleased to work with FORWARD to actually do something with this data in an effort to make an impact The data collected, while not conclusive due the the voluntary nature of the sample, does support the Data Snapshot unveiled in October and again supports the theory that DuPage County’s obesity rates mirror the national avenge for children at 33% in some communities
Chris: The percentage of overweight and obesity overall for all grades is 33% overweight and 16% obese. Obesity in children is defined as a body weight at least 20% higher than a healthy weight for a child of that height, or a body fat percentage above 25% in boys or above 32% in girls. The US averages are 32% overweight and 16% obese. The rates we found were comparable to the national averages and also comparable to the data that was reported last fall in the data snapshot.
Chris: The data for these children showed very little difference between gender. In this graph we see that girls were 1% more overweight than boys. In this study we had 537 girls and 540 boys represented- a nearly even distribution.
Chris: This graph shows the grade breakdown. In this study we had 578 Kindergarteners 206 6 th graders 294 9 th graders We see a larger percentage of overweight children in Kindergarten, this may be biased due to the larger representation of Kindergarteners in the study.
Chris: This map represents a majority of the participating schools. Some schools are not identified on the map to keep their participation in this project confidential. We had a good representation from many of the FORWARD regions however, not each grade level in each region was represented. This is an important goal for next year to have a better sample.
Moving forward the Data Committee will continue to engage with the education community and begin to explore a process to collect data each fall from the school physicals for every school in DuPage County. By engaging every school in the County we can establish overweight and obesity prevalence rates. It is important that we continue to move to the goal of a comprehensive data surveillance system that includes children and adults.
Dr. Buffalino: The Regional Plan for FORWARD, our vision is to build local community support through local coalitions and through the identification of the barriers and assets of each community in order to identify trends and county-wide policy and system changes. During the CDC grant application process the YMCA’s were identified as partner that seemed to naturally fit into this role. This summer FORWARD will formally begin to build this vision by working with the regional YMCA’s by performing a community assessment and building the regional FORWARD Coalitions. The Executive Directors of the YMCA’s are here today to tell us about their on-going work and the role they will play in building local support for FORWARD.
