Community-Wide Efforts to Improve the Consumer Food Environment and Physical Activity Resources in Rural Kentucky

“…Twenty-three studies used a promotion strategy [ 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 34 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ] as the sole intervention approach. Ten promotion interventions had positive effects [ 34 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], four reported mixed effects (positive + null) [ 17 , 19 , 20 , 21 ], six reported mixed effects (positive + null + negative) [ 22 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], two reported null effects [ 31 , 32 ], and one reported negative effects [ 30 ].…”

“…Articles in this collection support the approaches of previous stud- ies on interventions to improve health outcomes, such as the use of tailored community-based participatory approaches and a focus on using PSE when improving the nutrition environment and opportunities for physical activity in communities. The collection provides examples of community interventions that aim to increase the healthfulness of food and access to physical activity, such as improving healthy food options in retail outlets (7), creating opportunities for physical activity through local organizations (5), and collaborating with nontraditional public health partners, such as CES (4-10). The approaches described in this collection may provide organizations and community-based programs ideas for implementation of future work to improve the nutrition and physical activity environments in rural areas with a high prevalence of obesity.…”
