Personalization matters because every individual has different health needs and levels of motivation.
Path
Some are motivated to change behaviors; others aren’t.
Some are missing healthy behaviors, such as eating fruits and vegetables.
Others have unhealthy behaviors, such as overeating, that they’d like to do less often.
Personalization
for example
it requires that you know an individual’s eating habits and patterns.
To personalize health support
At HealthFitness, we do this
through a health assessment.
Personalization
PersonalizationIt’s also important to assess an individual’s
motivation to change an identi�ed behavior to determine the right approach.
The assessment identi�es a person who is not eating
enough vegetables.
Through the health assessment, the
participant chooses to take a small step to eat more vegetables. This
choice is re�ected in their personalized wellness
platform in the To-Do List.
The participant and coach identify strategies
to make it easy and convenient to eat more vegetables.
The participant maps progress with these
small steps online and the coach encourages
the participant’s actions, increasing the likelihood that these new behaviors
become a habit.

These are two examples of population-based approaches to nutrition, and can be a great way to start changing the environment for healthy eating.

Population
which approaches to nutrition to use with your speci�c population?
How do you know
A: Data
Knowing the approaches to prioritize with your population starts with data.
Data collected from individual health assessments and summarized into aggregate reports, for example, can help you customize programs to your population.

Population
for exampleIf a high percentage of your population consumes sugary drinks, prioritize ways to reduce consumption.
We have worked with clients to adjust vending machines to include more healthy options and place high-calorie beverages on the bottom shelf, making them less visible below eye-level.
Research shows Americans now get an average of nearly 21%
of their daily calories from beverages, up from 12% in 1965. Since calories
from beverages may be less satiating than calories from food, employees
may be consuming a higher total caloric intake and not know it.*

Population
for exampleIf your population does not consume enough fruits or vegetables, introduce easy ways to increase consumption, such as a farmers market.
At one farmers market for a client, we also introduced food stands with low-cost, prepared meals featuring fruits and veggies, so people could grab and go.
Population
for exampleSince most populations are low on time, �nd simple ways to educate them about choices.
With one client, we send short videos through email that ask a question and give a short answer, such as:
“Does eating late at night affect weight gain?”
