The document describes a collaborative project between two county health departments to assess barriers to healthy food access in 19 "food deserts" across the counties. Community members, farmers, decision-makers and food assistance agencies provided input through focus groups, surveys and interviews. This identified perceived barriers, assets and preferred solutions. A cross-county committee now plans regional solutions to maximize resources. The presentation will discuss the assessment methodology, partnership strategies, results and lessons learned from collaborating across county lines to address food insecurity.

Obesity and overweight measures to help lose weight and community strategies ...Prab Tumpati
As the nation fights an epidemic of Obesity, here are some of the measures at the level of the community from Centers For Disease Control.
If you are overweight or obese and trying to lose weight, you are not alone. According to statistics, up to 70 percent of the adult population in the United States are either overweight or obese. Our countries approach of blaming the victim for obesity does not help.

Nursing Process with communities
Population-focused health planning
Health planning is a continuous social process by which data about clients are collected and analyzed for the purpose of developing a plan to generate new ideas, meet identified client needs, solve health problems, and guide changes in health care delivery.
To date, you have been responsible primarily for developing a plan of care for the individual client.
History of U.S. Health Planning
The history of health planning in the United States has alternated between the federal and state governments.
Before the 1960s, health planning occurred primarily at the state level.
In the 1960s, health planning became a federal effort.
In 1966, the Comprehensive Health Planning and Public Health Service Amendment was passed to enable states and local communities to plan for better health resources.
In the 1980s, President Reagan aimed to reduce both the size of the federal government and the influence the federal government had on states. His administration eliminated the federal budget and planning requirements while encouraging states to make their own planning decisions.
History of U.S. Health Planning
In 1980, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act encouraged the use of noninstitutional services, such as home health care, to fight escalating costs.
In 1983 the Prospective Payment System drastically changed hospital reimbursement, resulted in shorter hospital stays for patients, shifted care into the community, and placed greater responsibilities for care of relatives on family members
The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act) of 2010 requires access to health care for most Americans.
Rationale for Nursing Involvement in the Health Planning Process
Florence Nightingale and Lillian Wald pioneered health planning based on an assessment of the health needs of the communities they served
Both the American Nurses Association (ANA) (2007) and the American Public Health Association (APHA) (1996) state that the primary responsibility of community/public health nurses is to the community or population as a whole and that nurses must acknowledge the need for comprehensive health planning to implement this responsibility.
Nurses spend a greater amount of time in direct contact with their clients than do any other health care professionals.
Nursing Role in Program Planning
Planning for change at the community level is more complex than at the individual level.
Components to the client system have been increased, and more people and more complex organizations are involved.
Baccalaureate-prepared community/public nurses are expected to apply the nursing process with subpopulations or aggregates with limited supervision (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 1986; ANA, 2007)
Planning for community change

Your presentation on obesity did not address the requirements of trochellscroop
Your presentation on obesity did not address the requirements of the scoring guide. You need to discuss obesity within a specific state or community not the entire United States.
Your presentation Uses current APA to format citations and references, but with numerous errors. Specific errors noted relate to: • Your references are not formatted according to APA requirements
you did a good job discussing obesity in the United States. Your paper does not identify a critical health care issue within a specific community. To earn a distinguished grade, you need to describe a critical health care issue within a specific community, and provide statistical information related to frequency, severity, and population most affected. Ask yourself who in the state or county is most affected and what is the severity of that effect?”
Your paper does not recommend ways to expand the scope of interventions to target a critical health issue. To earn a distinguished grade, you need to recommend evidence-based ways to expand the scope of interventions to target a critical health issue in terms of cost, efficiency and access, and effectiveness. You also need to classify the interventions as conventional or unconventional interventions.”
Your paper discussed national interventions. Please research a specific state or community that has identified obesity as a community crisis and discuss specific interventions implemented. Please remember to discuss the programs effectiveness or goals. You also need to discuss the duration and how the program is communicated to the community.”
PLEASE HIGHLIGHT YOUR CHANGES AND ADDITIONS.
Overview

Healthy People 2020
Healthy People was a call to action and an attempt to set health goals for the United States for the next 10 years.
Healthy People 2000 established 3 general goals:
Increase the span of healthy life.
Reduce health disparities.
Create access to preventive services for all.
Healthy People 2010 introduced 2 general goals:
Increase quality and years of healthy life.
Eliminate health disparities.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
The U.S. health care system faces significant challenges that clearly indicate the urgent need for reform.
There is broad evidence that Americans often do not get the care they need even though the United States spends more money per person on health care than any other nation in the world.
Preventive care is underutilized, resulting in higher spending on complex, advanced diseases.
Practical Policy for Preventive Services
Patients with chronic diseases too often do not receive proven and effective treatments such as drug therapies or self management services to help them more effectively manage their conditions.
These problems are exacerbated by a lack of coordination of care for patients with chronic diseases.
Reforming our health care delivery system to improve the quality and value of care is essential to address escalating costs, poor quality, and increasing numbers of Americans without health insurance coverage.
Why policies need to be developed?
Basic needs are not being met (e.g., People are not receiving the health care they need)
People are not being treated fairly (e.g., People with disabilities do not have access to public places)
Resources are distributed unfairly (e.g., Educational services are more limited in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty)
Why policies need to be developed?
Current policies or laws are not enforced or effective (e.g., The current laws on clean water are neither enforced nor effective)
Proposed changes in policies or laws would be harmful (e.g., A plan to eliminate flextime in a large business would reduce parents' ability to be with their children)
Existing or emerging conditions pose a threat to public health, safety, education, or well-being (e.g., New threats from terrorist activity)

Abstract
Environmental health is both a public health and social justice issue. This paper will describe how environmental health is both a public health and social injustice issue and some of the environmental injustices in the United States. It will also explain the functions of environmental health movements in the US. Finally, the paper will describe some of the intervention opportunities in curbing environmental injustices including health education, advocacy, policy, leadership opportunities, and community focus and give my future leadership role as far as environmental health is concerned.
Keywords
Environmental health, public health, social injustice, minority groups
Section 1: Topic Description
The topic that I chose is Environmental Health. This topic is a public health issue because the environment in which we live in shapes our health every moment of every day. Our health can be affected by what we eat, where we live, and how we interact with the world around us. That is where environmental health professionals, programs and policies, all come into play. Environmental health is a large field in public health because of the numerous ways exterior factors can impact how we live, grow and, even eat. These factors concern how we address our natural environment like sanitation and clean water, but they are also the consequences of our actions as human beings (Krometis et al, 2017).
Environmental Health is also a social justice issue because all the conversations about protecting habitats, mitigating climate change and recycling are not just about saving and protecting the earth, they are more about the struggle for protecting and providing basic human rights to good health. Every human being is entitled to quality air, clean water, and sanitation (Marmot, 2017).
Section 2: Social Injustice
Two Environmental Social Injustices
One major environmental social injustice is the disproportional placing of dangerous waste amenities in poor and largely ethnic and racial minority localities. Research shows that there are ethnic and racial discrepancies in the locations of dangerous waste across the United States. As a result of these injustices people living in such an environment have developed diseases like cancer.
Another social injustice is the environmental influence on healthy eating, physical activity, and obesity in ethnic and racial minority communities with low income. The principal concern here is the deprivation amplification such that in locations where have little individual resources, the local amenities that help people to live healthily, are poorer than those in non-socially and non-impoverished deprived places. Research has shown that t.

1. Stop Guessing, Start Asking: Engaging Food Desert Residents in Multi-tiered
Assessment to Increase Access to and Consumption of Fruits and Vegetables
Conference Track: Track 1 Assess and Investigate
Abstract Type: Poster Session, Workshop or sharing session?
Session Description:
Part 1: not applicable
Part 2 Program Problem Statement and Goals (100 words):
Areas with low access to healthy foods are called “Food Deserts”. Food Deserts have a
negative impact on the health of a community, leading to increased obesity levels
because junk food is more readily available than nutritious food. Currently in Manatee
and Sarasota Counties, there are 19 Food Deserts, affecting 77,583 residents.
The goals of this practice were: (1) identify the perceived barriers, assets and solutions
of residents and (2) collaborate across county-lines to maximize resources, share best
practices, and plan regional solutions.
Part 3A: Learning Objectives (Selected from a drop-down menu)
Using no more than 100 words per objective, describe how the session will meet the
selected learning objective.
Can choose up to 3 of these 4:
1. Discuss core public health assessment and investigation strategies that help local
health departments identify and address poor health outcomes.
This project utilized a community-based participatory methodology to collect
residents’ perspective on assets, barriers, and preferred interventions for healthy
food access. A combination of focus groups, key informant interviews, randomized
door-to-door surveys, recorded oral histories, and photo-voice was used to gather
input, allowing for meaningful evaluation of community needs. Collection tools were
consistent throughout all food deserts; however, results were analyzed to determine
which food access interventions were most appropriate for each food desert
community. This session will share assessment methodology details and how they
may be replicated in any community, to delve deeper into any health issue.
2. Discuss ways local health departments can build strategic alliances to implement
successful collaborations that address health threats in the community.
Following assessment, a cross-county steering committee was convened, comprised
of community residents, farmers, decision makers, and representatives from food
assistance agencies. Planning and implementation of solutions are active and
2. ongoing. Results from the cross-county assessment are being used to drive policy,
systems, and environmental change-based food access intervention planning.
Cross-county partnerships are being leveraged to maximize resources.
This session will discuss how these partnerships were developed, maintained and
leveraged to successfully address community needs.
3. Describe strategies to build capacity for delivery of appropriate risk-communication
for specific populations within their community.
4. Compare innovative ways to structure local health departments that maximize
resources to enhance service delivery to the community.
This presentation will demonstrate that a collaborative cross-county approach to food
access planning provides many opportunities: (i) the minimization of agency
workforce and budget deficits, (ii) the maximization of community engagement via
shared best practices and cross-county marketing and outreach efforts, (iii) the
maximization of community partner resources in addressing food insecurity across
county lines. Methodology, results, best practices, and lessons learned will be
presented.
Part 3B: Was a Local Health Department involved in the research/project?
If you answered yes to the question above, please describe. (50 words max)
This project was a collaboration between two local health departments, The Florida Department
of Health in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. Staff in DOH-Manatee and Sarasota worked
together to develop and implement this practice, with broad and ongoing participation from
community partners.
