Healthy Communities PWA
a. (HEAL MAPPS)
In the
Community, I will:
Use the Healthy Eating Active Living Mapping Attributes using Participatory
Photographic Surveys (HEAL MAPPS) as part of SNAP-Ed assessment.
Conduct a series of HEAL MAPPS activities reaching community
collaboration partners and SNAP-Ed Target Audience resulting in
approximately
direct education contacts in the process.

To address obesity prevention in communities, the HEAL MAPPS assessment
tool will generate and support partnerships to implement community-informed
and evidence-based strategies to optimize the community social and physical
environment for promoting healthy dietary and activity habits among youth and
adults, and to reduce disparate conditions (i.e. barriers) particularly for SNAPeligible audiences. Trained OSU SNAP-Ed faculty will gather volunteers to
conduct the mapping activity and compile the photos, and will re-engage the
community to view the data, decide on priorities, and prepare a report.
Applying a people and places framework grounded in the social ecological
model, our SNAP-Ed people-level work plan will focus on positive changes in
child and family attributes (knowledge, skills, dispositions, and behaviors)
related to healthful eating and physical activity.
Applying a people and places framework grounded in the social ecological
model, our SNAP-Ed place-level work plan will focus on positive changes in child
and family home attributes (habits, family situations, home conditions/features)
related to healthful eating and physical activity.
To promote healthy food choices, the number of community-level organizations,
institutions or businesses that have made changes in practices and/or capacities.
To promote physical activity, the number of community sites that have improved
access or infrastructure generally as the result of joint community efforts.

OSU SNAP-Ed educators will co-conduct an inventory of healthy pantry
characteristics.
Oregon Food Bank (OFB) developed their Healthy Pantry Initiative
Assessment Tool in 2012 in response to a newly developed policy to guide
purchase, procurement and distribution of foods and beverages to better align
with OFB’s mission: to eliminate hunger and its root causes. The assessment
tool’s goal is to increase the accessibility and distribution of healthful foods
through emergency boxes.
Food Pantry Volunteers learn the importance of increasing distribution of fruit,
vegetable and whole grain products.
The number of Food Pantry sites who now offer healthy food samples and
recipes, promote shopping-style/client choice distribution of food box contents,
organize and support garden-based nutrition classes on-site, and train pantry
volunteers to provide education resources and recipes.

YA4-H! engages teens as researchers, teachers, and health advocates to define,
assess, and address health-related issues that are salient to youth in their
communities. Building on the award winning Participatory Evaluation with Youth
program (Arnold & Wells, 2006), YA4-H! prepares youth to conduct communitybased research with a health focus, and to use the results of the research to
educate others about, and advocate for, solutions to health related concerns at
the community level. Those OSU SNAP-Ed Units incorporating the YA4-H
assessment tool will work with teens to provide educational opportunities to
younger youth, using the Teens as Teachers program developed by OSU and
Washington State University.
Teens will reach younger youth with educational activities designed to increase
knowledge and behaviors related to dietary quality and physical activity, and will
share the results of their research with community residents and leaders,
advocating for and encouraging community action to improve health concerns
important to youth.
In addition to extending SNAP-Ed reach, teens involved in the program gain
experience in facilitation skills, goal setting, teaching, teamwork, problem
solving, and leadership. The teens also learn health, nutrition and fitness
information they can use in their own lives
