The Your Health Matters: Growing Active, Healthy Communities training for Community Health Workers and community members was developed by The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Public Health, Brownsville Regional Campus with funding from the Texas Department of State Health Services and Texas CORD (Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration). Attendees will leave this training with an understanding of the growing obesity epidemic and why regular physical activity and health eating are important for a healthy lifestyle. It educates them on evidence-based policy improvements, systems and environmental changes to promote physical activity and healthy eating. Participants gain knowledge and skills to identify and analyze policy, systems and environmental barriers in their community that contribute to an unhealthy lifestyle and to identify evidence-based strategies to address them. Participants also practice skills to engage community partners, prioritize approaches and develop an action plan to support activities that create opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating in their communities. The curriculum uses videos and multiple activities to help participants learn.
