To complete a formative evaluation to identify community-level assets and barriers to healthy lifestyle choices, we conducted qualitative interviews, community audits, and secondary data analyses. We solicited local leaders' perspectives regarding winnability of obesity prevention policy options. Participants noted that many resources were available, yet a barrier was high cost. There were more parks per capita in low-income areas, but they were of lower quality. The most winnable obesity prevention policy was incentives for use of food from local farms. Results are being used to inform an intervention to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in rural eastern North Carolina.
为了完成对社区层面健康生活方式选择的资产和障碍进行形成性评估，我们进行了定性访谈、社区审计和二次数据分析。我们征求了当地领导人对肥胖预防政策选择的可赢性的看法。参与者指出，有许多资源可用，但障碍是高成本。低收入地区的人均公园数量更多，但质量较低。最有可能成功的肥胖预防政策是鼓励使用当地农场的食品。研究结果正在被用于为减少北卡罗来纳州东部农村地区的心血管疾病风险的干预措施提供信息。
