1. Community Problem
The community issue addressed is the high prevalence rates of
obesity and overweight. In this regard, the challenge is
comprehensive, owing to categorizing the aspect as a lifestyle
condition. Subsequently, other factors, such as nutrition,
inadequate physical exercise, and sedentary lives contribute to
the issue. The problem is significant, owing to substantial
correlations between obesity, overweight, and other
comorbidities. The implication is that obesity is a risk factor for
other illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases, obesity,
cancer, and other issues. In such a case, programs and
initiatives implemented to reduce prevalence should be
adequate. Accurate evaluation is critical in attaining the best
outcomes, including follow-up, adherence, and addressing
elements that require a change to meet emerging needs.
Structure
The evaluation structure follows a pre-and post-intervention
approach. In this regard, the emphasis is on the initiatives and
their ability to meet the set goals. According to the CDC (2016),
obesity evaluation measures often employ baseline data to
compare progress at the post-implementation phase. In this
regard, the structure entails collecting baseline data of the
metrics, such as BMI, waistline, and weight, among other
anthropometric factors. After the intervention, such as a
community education program sensitizing users on the risk
factors associated with obesity and overweight, the evaluation
will compare the baseline measures to assess any progress. To
illustrate, evaluating how the BMI changed after a participant
implements recommended steps will help determine efficacy. As
a result, the suggested structure focuses on a pre-and post-
intervention approach.

2. Process
The evaluation process will be goal-based. Subsequently, the
procedure will focus on specific objectives determined by the
set metrics. According to Seral-Cortes et al. (2021), an effective
evaluation process should emphasize knowing the goals and
project outcomes, testing them against set results. Additionally,
precise objectives and measurable data are also vital in
promoting an effective process of assessment. Other
components or steps incorporate using a logic model to describe
the intervention or program, formulating the project's
acceptability criteria, and developing required questions. In the
proposed process, a goal-based method will apply.
Subsequently, post-intervention, goals will be formulated or
indicators of success, such as reducing the prevalence levels by
25% in the first three months. Behavioral changes, including
nutritional awareness assessed by selecting at least three
healthy diets after four weeks of community education, will be
helpful.
Outcome Standards
The outcomes will focus on behavior and prevalence levels in
the long-term from the example of community education and
awareness. As described, after three months, disease prevalence
at the community level will reduce by 25%. Additionally,
behavioral aspects encompass correct exercise uptake, avoiding
risky diets, and limiting lifestyle conduct, such a sedentary life
that increases the disease's risk and severity. As determined by
the metrics, anthropometric measures, including waistline and
weight, are also vital. As a standard and primary measure
reducing BMI levels by at least 20% will indicate success and
suggest the individual is making progress towards a healthy
weight and avoiding obesity. As a result, outcome standards
will focus on lifestyle behaviors, disease prevalence, and
specific metrics or measures, such as BMI and weight reduction

Community Health Problem & Improvement Plan
Obesity is a complex community health problem in the United
States. The issue results from various behavioral and genetic
factors. Behavioral factors contributing to obesity include
physical activity and inactivity, medication use, and dietary
choices (CDC, 2021). Additional factors such as education and
skills, socio-economic conditions can also predispose
individuals to obesity. Obesity is a complex and severe
community healthcare problem. The complication is associated
with cardiovascular diseases. It is also associated with poor
mental health and low life quality. Obesity affects every age
group in the United States. The US experiences an increasing
prevalence among all population segments. The US
demographic forms part of developed nations' populations

4. whose obesity increase is estimated to be 30% higher than the
prevalence in developing countries (Çakmur, 2017). Out of the
25% of overweight American children, 11% of them are obese.
This increase places obesity at an epidemic level.
Analyzing an obesity healthcare improvement plan requires
healthcare authorities to consider various aspects of the
program. First, one can examining the physical activity
environment to determine barriers and opportunities to
accessing social reinforcement. The dietary environment
assesses the availability, attractiveness, and affordability of
healthy foods. The analysis includes healthcare and work
environments where healthy diets, community support, and
physical activities can be promoted. Lastly, the study should
consist of the school environment where young people receive
obesity education and healthy food and physical activity
opportunities. Various outcome standards can also be measured.
One of the outcomes is increased obesity research. Community
obesity management plans should increase research into the
causes, effects, and solutions for obesity. The analysis should
include the strength of surveillance monitoring systems.
Healthcare, government health agencies, and non0profit
organizations should have robust programs that measure the
prevalence and set solutions for the problem. Lastly, evaluating
the plan should consider the problem prevalence within given
timelines to determine success.
