SIGNIFICANCE

v To  support  3  regional  health  collaborators  to  educate  faith  based  organiza6ons  (FBOs),  in  order  to  decrease  obesity  by:  

v Increasing  physical  ac6vity,    

v Improving  nutri6on  to  prevent/control  obesity  within  the  faith  community.  

According  to  the  2011  New  Jersey  Behavioral  Risk  Factor  Survey  (NJBHRFS),    v 23.8%  of  adults  aged  20  years  

and  older  were  obese.  The  NJBHRFS  also  states,    

v 26.1%  of  adults  aged  18  years  and  older  consumed  five  or  more  servings  of  fruits  and  vegetables  per  day.    

v Only  53.2%  of  adults  met  the  current  Federal  physical  ac6vity  guidelines  for  moderate  or  vigorous  physical  ac6vity.  

 The  FHS  will  fund  health  collaborators  with  $900,000  to  link  faith  based  organiza6ons  to  the  health  care  delivery  system.          

By  the  end  of  the  federal  fiscal  year,  this  program  should:    v Demonstrate  a  reduc6on  of  BMI  and  blood  pressure  amongst  

congregants  that  par6cipated  in  the  program.    v Provide  skills  in  crea6ng  healthy  meals,    v Stress  the  importance  of  reading  labels,    v Inspire  congregants  to  eat  healthier/exercise  more  oZen.    ***If  the  CDC  deems  that  the  program  was  a  success,  then  FHS  will  be  awarded  more  funds  for  the  next  fiscal  year.  This  increased  funding  will  be  used  to  expand  towards  more  FBOs  to  ul6mately  reduce  obesity  in  New  Jersey.      

GRATITUDE I  would  like  to  thank  Nashon  Hornsby  JD,  Dr.  Monique  Howard  EdD,  my  Internship  Preceptors.  This  has  been  a  great  experience  that  I  hope  to  u6lize  for  the  rest  of  my  career.  I  also  want  to  give  great  thanks  to  Ann  Marie  Hill,  Internship  Coordinator,  for  the  constant  support,  wisdom,  and  guidance  throughout  the  semester.

Review reports collaborators submit

Monitor collaborators There  must  be  constant  contact  and  proper  communica6on  with  collaborators  to  make  sure  everyone  is  on  the  same  page.  

Reports  submiaed  are  highly  cri6ques  and  evaluated  for  appropriateness.  Collaborators  must  be  following  their  plan  submiaed.  

Financial  reports  are  assessed  to  determine  whether  each  collaborator  will  be  able  to  u6lize  the  funding  by  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year.  Site  visits  are  conducted  to  assure  that  grantees  are  spending  the  funds  appropriately.
