Although policy approaches are traditionally an important element of public health efforts to address major health problems, public health policy around physical activity remains poorly defined and developed.
After extensive literature searches and reviews of policy frameworks developed for other public health issues such as tobacco control and injury prevention, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hosted a series of workshops and discussions on physical activity policy.
A simple model describing relationships among policy, the environment, behavior, and health was developed, a framework for organizing and conceptualizing policy interventions was described, and priorities for public health efforts to promote physical activity were proposed.
An expanded focus on physical activity policy interventions is warranted, and such efforts can complement physical activity promotion efforts at other levels. The addition of researchers with expertise in the policy sciences will enhance the work of existing multidisciplinary teams.
尽管政策方法传统上是公共卫生应对重大健康问题努力的重要组成部分,但围绕身体活动的公共卫生政策仍定义不清且发展不足。
在对为烟草控制和伤害预防等其他公共卫生问题制定的政策框架进行广泛文献检索和综述后,疾病控制与预防中心举办了一系列关于身体活动政策的研讨会和讨论。
开发了一个描述政策、环境、行为和健康之间关系的简单模型,描述了组织和概念化政策干预措施的框架,并提出了促进身体活动的公共卫生工作重点。
有必要扩大对身体活动政策干预措施的关注,此类努力可补充其他层面促进身体活动的工作。增加具有政策科学专业知识的研究人员将加强现有多学科团队的工作。
