- 18.0: Introduction
- Jamie, a public health nurse, is tasked with creating an innovative program for children and families to encourage physical activity, funded by a county grant. A community health assessment identified high obesity rates and low activity levels, making obesity a priority. Programs like Jamie's rely on community assessment, target at-risk populations, address health disparities, and use evidence-based strategies and theoretical frameworks for planning and evaluation to promote community health.
