“…It is important to maintain and increase participation in shared-use facilities. So, it may be wise not to insist on formal agreements if informal ones are sufficient (Stein et al, 2015). In addition, policies that connect routes to destinations are essential for increased access.…”

Chronic diseases are disproportionately high among African Americans, often caused by social determinants of health (e.g., access to physical activity opportunities), as stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Several studies have examined practices and policies of shared-use in school-based and other settings. There is still a gap in the literature regarding how faith-based shared-use programs, practices, and policies are implemented in a virtual or hybrid setting. This evaluation reviewed program activities and partnerships and assessed program needs for quality improvement. Focus groups ( n = 2) were conducted with program participants and site coordinators from five faith-based shared-use sites. A 12-question discussion guide was developed based on topics of interest predetermined by the project team to understand participant perceptions about participation, satisfaction, and recommendations. Focus group audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and reviewed using thematic analysis. The evaluators reviewed transcripts separately to confirm final coding and ensured intercoder reliability. The analysis yielded six themes and eight subthemes. Findings indicated that the program was rewarding and achievable, with suggestions for improvement. Social support was developed as a result of the program, health improvements were observed by participants, and networked partnerships were formed to promote health and wellness. The virtual platform presented limited access; therefore, adopting a hybrid approach could offer greater flexibility and reach broader audiences. It may be helpful for public health agencies to partner with faith-based organizations to jointly open their facilities. Agencies, like local health departments, may consider establishing agreements to expand shared-use to local faith-based settings.

“…97 This policy work is generally targeted to reduce disparities in access to recreation facilities. Pilot research has shown that children are significantly more likely to be physically active when they have access to fields and play areas after school 98 and that children are 84% more physically active in communities that have shared use agreements, 99 but more research is needed.…”

Background-American Heart Association (AHA) public policy advocacy strategies are based on its Strategic Impact Goals.The writing group appraised the evidence behind AHA's policies to determine how well they address the association's 2020 cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics and cardiovascular disease (CVD) management indicators and identified research needed to fill gaps in policy and support further policy development. Methods and Results-The AHA policy research department first identified current AHA policies specific to each CVH metric and CVD management indicator and the evidence underlying each policy. Writing group members then reviewed each policy and the related metrics and indicators. The results of each review were summarized, and topic-specific priorities and overarching themes for future policy research were proposed. There was generally close alignment between current AHA policies and the 2020 CVH metrics and CVD management indicators; however, certain specific policies still lack a robust evidence base. For CVH metrics, the distinction between policies for adults (age ≥20 years) and children (<20 years) was often not considered, although policy approaches may differ importantly by age. Inclusion of all those <20 years of age as a single group also ignores important differences in policy needs for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. For CVD management indicators, specific quantitative targets analogous to criteria for ideal, intermediate, and poor CVH are lacking but needed to assess progress toward the 2020 goal to reduce deaths from CVDs and stroke. New research in support of current policies needs to focus on the evaluation of their translation and implementation through expanded application of implementation science. Focused basic, clinical, and population research is required to expand and strengthen the evidence base for the development of new policies.
