Introduction.
The epidemic of obesity is a multifaceted public health issue.
Positive policy and environmental changes are needed to support healthier eating and increased physical activity.
Methods.
StrongWomen Change Clubs (SWCCs) were developed through an academic-community research partnership between researchers at Cornell University and Tufts University and community partners (cooperative extension educators) in rural towns in seven U.S.
states.
Extension educators served as the local leader and each recruited 10–15 residents to undertake a project to improve some aspect of the nutrition or physical activity environment.
Most residents had limited (or no) experience in civic engagement.
At 6 and 12 months after implementation, the research team conducted key informant interviews with SWCC leaders to capture their perceptions of program process, benchmark achievement, and self-efficacy.
Results.
At 12 months, each SWCC had accomplished one benchmark; the majority had completed three or more benchmarks.
They described common processes for achieving benchmarks such as building relationships and leveraging stakeholder partnerships.
Barriers to benchmark achievement included busy schedules and resistance to and slow pace of change.
Conclusion.
Findings suggest that community change initiatives that involve stakeholders, build upon existing activities and organizational resources, and establish feasible timelines and goals can successfully catalyze environmental change.
