Diagnosis

Risk of obesity among adults related to lack of physical exercise, inadequate fruits and vegetable intake secondary to lack of financial income and education as evidenced by higher than average obesity rates in Oceana County compared to the State of Michigan.

Page 15: Oceana  County Community Plan
Page 16: Oceana  County Community Plan

Specific: Obesity rates of Oceana community members will be reduced by 7.9% from 38.5% in 2012, to 30.6 % in 2020 (consistent with Healthy People goals). The focus will be primarily on children and families, however all members of the community are encouraged to participate.

Measurable: Community members will visit Oceana Health Department for an annual weigh in at six months and one year.

Smart Goal

Page 17: Oceana  County Community Plan

Achievable: Community members will increase activity for 30 minutes three times a week either at community exercise programs, individual home-based programs, or family centered programs.

Relevant: The goal of a 10lb. weight reduction in 20% of community members is relevant to decrease the obesity rates.

Time-bound: Community members will weigh in two times from the start of the program to have their progress monitored.

Implementation

Page 19: Oceana  County Community Plan

“Research shows that in order to help prevent obesity among children, we must focus on both diet and exercise in the communities where children live and go to school since the environment is a key contributor to obesity risk. Focusing on the community is especially important for children since they generally have little or no control over their environment“ (“Community-based,” 2013).

Map of walking trails (1 mile, 2 mile, etc.)

Clubs meet once weekly after school to walk

Monthly family events planned

Teachers receive special training and recommendations of at least one period of activity during the day lasting at least 5-10 minutes.

BENEFITS All activities can be completed in a small space. This has been proven to help children focus more

during school. Children have been noted to have a 32% increase in

physical activity when compared to the control group.

(Erwin, Beighle, Morgan, & Noland, 2011)

Intervention: Classroom activity

Page 23: Oceana  County Community Plan

“When a child is given an opportunity, during recess, to be involved in an activity, most are willing to participate” (Huberty et al., 2011).

BENEFITS Teachers are already outside at recess

supervising children, so having them organize a game or activity is a cost-effective means to improving physical activity in children.

Attendance logs

◦ The organizers of the walking clubs, cooking classes, etc. will track participation to ensure that individuals are staying engaged.

◦ If attendance begins to dwindle, the organizers should seek out the reasons in order to see if adjustments can be made.

◦ This is not in an attempt to “police” the participants, only to measure what activities are of most interest to the community and direct resources accordingly.

Evaluation

Page 39: Oceana  County Community Plan

Journals

◦ At the kick-off for the program, each participant will be given a journal.

◦ This journal can be used as a daily log to record participation in exercise activities or record meals.

◦ Additionally, this journal can be used by the individual to write down their successes and frustrations as they work through the program.

◦ Kids will be encouraged to write down or draw pictures of what games they played at recess

Evaluation

Page 40: Oceana  County Community Plan

Weigh-Ins

◦ Participants’ weights will be recorded at the inception of the program.

◦ A weigh-in will also be recorded at the 6 month mark to evaluate progress thus far.

◦ Finally, a weigh-in will be done at the 1 year mark to evaluate whether community and individual weight loss and BMI goals have been reached.

Evaluation

Page 41: Oceana  County Community Plan
