Large groups of diverse partners in
all sectors including schools, parks
and recs, city governments,
healthcare organizations, chambers

4) Implement A Coordinated
Blend of Strategies
• Do an assessment of community needs
• Collaboratively develop an integrated SNAPEd work plan,
• Develop and leverage SNAP-Ed and non
SNAP-Ed funded partnerships that have a
cause in common with obesity prevention
5) Establish Statewide
Objectives
1) Healthy foods,
mostly fruits and
vegetables
2) Healthy beverages
and water
3) Physical activity
4) Community

What is the Role of
Media?
• To be ahead of the wave (public opinion)
• To use the energy at the front of the
wave to pull public opinion forward
• To support program goals

Putting the LHD model
into action
Guiding principles for the local
integrated work plan
• Work plan responds to community needs
and evaluate the work beyond reporting
counts.
• Build synergy with funded and unfunded
partners and leverage existing resources
• Be a model for SNAP-Ed delivery by
developing strategic partnerships to
widen the sphere of influence in the
community

(PSE) Change Evaluation with REAIM framework
A framework for planning and
evaluating PSE intervention
• R – Reach
• A – Adoption
• I – Implementation
• E – Effectiveness
• M – Maintenance
Core RE-AIM Indicators
Integrated with
WRO SNAP-ED Evaluation
Framework
http://snap.nal.usda.gov/snap/WesternRegionEvaluationFramework.pdf
REACH
• # and % of all people
• Did you reach your target audience?
• Example: # of people and % of the target
population affected--representative and most at
risk
– # of people shopping at farmers’ markets in lowincome area
Adoption
• # and % of settings that decided to initiate a
program or policy, systems, or environmental
change strategy?
• Did the community decide the PSE was
something they wanted to take on?
• Did the community choose to put the PSE into
place?
•
Example: The # and % of settings participating-- appropriateness of
settings (and partners) for reaching/engaging the target population
– # of farmers’ markets established
Implementation
• # and % of settings, organizations,
communities that put into place activities
with fidelity
• Was the intervention delivered as
intended?
• Example: Change is implemented as intended;
fidelity
– # of farmers participating in farmers’ markets each
week
– Quality, price, and variety of fruits and vegetables
sold at farmers market
Effectiveness (Efficacy)
• What was the impact of the intervention
on outcomes (short, medium, or longterm)?
• What worked well? What didn’t work
well?
• Example: Short term outcomes--actual
environmental changes; intermediate outcomes-effects on health behaviors
– Local sales of fruits and vegetables as reported by
participating farmers
Maintenance
• What is the extent a PSE has been
institutionalized?
• Example: Individual level – individuals continue to
exhibit the desired health behavior changes. Setting
level – environmental change is maintained. New
barriers to use are prevented or mitigated.
– # of farmers’ markets that were established yearly, #
that continue to operate; EBT accepted; bonus
incentive programs continue
