SIGNIFICANCE
v To
support
3
regional
health
collaborators
to
educate
faith
based
organiza6ons
(FBOs),
in
order
to
decrease
obesity
by:
v Increasing
physical
ac6vity,
v Improving
nutri6on
to
prevent/control
obesity
within
the
faith
community.
According
to
the
2011
New
Jersey
Behavioral
Risk
Factor
Survey
(NJBHRFS),
v 23.8%
of
adults
aged
20
years
and
older
were
obese.
The
NJBHRFS
also
states,
v 26.1%
of
adults
aged
18
years
and
older
consumed
five
or
more
servings
of
fruits
and
vegetables
per
day.
v Only
53.2%
of
adults
met
the
current
Federal
physical
ac6vity
guidelines
for
moderate
or
vigorous
physical
ac6vity.
The
FHS
will
fund
health
collaborators
with
$900,000
to
link
faith
based
organiza6ons
to
the
health
care
delivery
system.
By
the
end
of
the
federal
fiscal
year,
this
program
should:
v Demonstrate
a
reduc6on
of
BMI
and
blood
pressure
amongst
congregants
that
par6cipated
in
the
program.
v Provide
skills
in
crea6ng
healthy
meals,
v Stress
the
importance
of
reading
labels,
v Inspire
congregants
to
eat
healthier/exercise
more
oZen.
***If
the
CDC
deems
that
the
program
was
a
success,
then
FHS
will
be
awarded
more
funds
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
This
increased
funding
will
be
used
to
expand
towards
more
FBOs
to
ul6mately
reduce
obesity
in
New
Jersey.
