3. The Problem: Chronic illness
accounts for four of the top seven causes of
death in MN…
4. The Problem: The “real” causes of
these deaths are behaviors that are preventable,
such as tobacco use/exposure, poor diet, and
sedentary living…
5. Obesity is epidemic in Minnesota.
• Nearly 2/3 of adults
are overweight or
obese
• Only one out of four
adults eats enough
fruits and vegetables
• Only slightly more than
half of Minnesota
adults get at least a
moderate level of
exercise
Percent of Minnesota Adults Obese
6. Tobacco continues to be a problem in
Minnesota.
• 14.4% of adults
smoke, and many
others are
subjected to
secondhand smoke.
• Over a quarter of
high school
students used
tobacco in the past
30 days. www.mnadulttobaccosurvey.org
8. What Influences Our Health?
• Socio-Ecological Model:
– Individual: knowledge, attitudes,
beliefs
– Interpersonal: family, peers, social
networks
– Organizational: employers, schools,
etc.
– Community: social norms and
standards
– Policy: a law, rule at an employer,
college, or multi-unit housing

11. The Policy, Systems and
Environmental Approach
• Support social norm changes
• Support individual behavior change
• Widespread results
• Long-term impact
12. What is Policy Change?
• Policies include laws, ordinances,
resolutions, mandates,
regulations, or rules (both formal
and informal)
– Policy change includes the passing of
laws, ordinances, resolutions,
mandates, regulations, or rules
– Example: organizational policy that
allows the use of flex-time to
accommodate physical activity
13. What is System Change?
• Systems impact all elements of an
organization, institution, or system
– Systems change impacts all elements
of an organization and often focuses
on changing infrastructure within a
school, park, worksite or healthcare
setting
– Example: Implementation of the WHO
10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding
and becoming a baby-friendly hospital
system
14. What is Environmental
Change?
• The environment involves physical
or material elements of the
economic, social, or physical
environment
– Environmental change is a change
made to the physical or material
elements
– Example: Incorporating sidewalks,
paths, and/or recreation areas into
community design
15. Policy, systems, and environmental changes…
supporting healthy individual behaviors…
How it
works
• work with schools to serve more
locally grown produce
Rather than just telling
kids about good
nutrition
• help employers build
opportunities into the day
Rather than just telling
people to get more
physical activity
• help college campuses become
smoke-free
Rather than just telling
students to avoid
second-hand smoke

the curve on obesity rates, according to a recent MDH analysis of CDC data.
• Significant health care savings linked to 60,000 more Minnesotans at a healthy weight

30. FUNDING TO PREVENT OBESITY, DIABETES,
AND HEART DISEASE AND STROKE
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has received new Centers for
Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) funding to support local communities to
improve health. This grant builds on current work to prevent and better
manage obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, at the same time
focusing on reducing health disparities.
With this funding, FOUR selected communities in Minnesota will engage in
cross-cutting, creative approaches that can positively impact the health of
your residents, especially those with the greatest health needs.
The key components and strategies of this grant will also enhance
communities’ current efforts through the Statewide Health Improvement
Program (SHIP), The Minnesota Accountable Health Model or SIM, and Health
Care Homes.
31. Promote Health and Support and Reinforce Healthy
Behavior through Environmental Change
1.1 Implement food and beverage guidelines including sodium
standards (i.e., food service guidelines for cafeterias and vending)
in public institutions, worksites and other key locations such as
hospitals
1.2 Strengthen healthier food access and sales in retail venues (e.g.,
grocery stores, supermarkets, chain restaurants, and markets) and
community venues (e.g., food banks) through increased availability
(e.g., fruit and vegetables and more low/no sodium options)
improved pricing, placement and promotion
1.3 Strengthen community promotion of physical activity through
signage, worksite policies, social support and joint-use agreements
1.4 Develop and/or implement transportation and community plans
that promote walking
32. Build Support for Healthy Lifestyle Changes, especially
for those at high risk for Type 2 Diabetes
1.5 Plan and execute strategic data-driven actions through a network of
partners and local organizations to build support for lifestyle change
1.6 Implement evidence–based engagement strategies (e.g., tailored
communications, incentives, etc.) to build support for lifestyle
change
1.7 Increase coverage for evidence-based supports for lifestyle change
by working with network partners
33. Improve the Quality of Health Systems, Care Systems, and Care
Delivery for People w/Hypertension and Pre-Diabetes Disparities
2.1 Increase electronic health records (EHR) adoption and the use of health information
technology (HIT) to improve performance (e.g., implement advanced Meaningful Use
data strategies to identify patient populations who experience CVD-related
disparities)
2.2 Increase the institutionalization and monitoring of aggregated/standardized quality
measures at the provider level (e.g., use dashboard measures to monitor healthcare
disparities and implement activities to eliminate healthcare disparities)
2.3 Increase engagement of non-physician team members (i.e., nurses, pharmacists,
nutritionists, physical therapists and patient navigators/community health workers)
in hypertension management in community health care systems
2.4 Increase use of self-measured blood pressure monitoring tied with clinical support
2.5 Implement systems to facilitate identification of patients with undiagnosed
hypertension and people with prediabetes
34. Link Clinical and Community Resources to Support
Heart Disease, Stroke and Type 2 Diabetes Prevention
2.6 Increase engagement of CHW’s (such as Community Paramedics) to
promote linkages between health systems and community resources
for adults with high blood pressure and adults with prediabetes or at
high risk for type 2 diabetes
2.7 Increase engagement of community pharmacists in the provision of
medication-self management for adults with high blood pressure
2.8 Implement systems to facilitate bi-directional referral between
community resources and health systems, including lifestyle change
programs (e.g., EHRs, 800 numbers, 211 referral systems, etc.)
