Community-academic Partnership uses CPSTF Recommendations to Inform Faith-based Nutrition Program The Community Guide is releasing a new Community Guide in Action Story, Community-Academic Partnerships: A Win for Communities, Schools, and Public Health - Improving Nutrition in a Faith-Based Setting.

 

Dr. Kirsten C. Rodgers, former assistant professor of public health at Georgia College, worked with a team of her students and churches in three nearby counties to develop a program that addressed health disparities and improved the nutrition of residents. Dr. Rodgers and her team adapted the CPSTF finding, Obesity: Multicomponent Interventions to Increase Availability of Healthier Foods and Beverages in Schools, for use in a faith-based setting and created a program that improved the eating habits of more than 600 residents.   Read the full Community Guide in Action Story.
