Active Living by Design

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Rural Suburban Urban Urban/Suburban (2009) American Journal of Preventive Medicine
This issue focuses on the ALbD national program and community action model as well as the lessons learned from 15 ALbD grantee communities. The issue also features commentary from experts in the field. The practice-based special issue describes community partnerships representing a range of lead agencies (e.g. planning departments, community development agencies) with emphasis on increasing physical activity in special populations (e.g. African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, older adults, children, employees).  There are examples of the process of planning and implementing comprehensive approaches to increase community levels of physical activity, including how to engage partners, secure resources, increase community participation, design policy and environment interventions, increase political or community support, address challenges or minimize barriers, and keep the momentum going over time.
