I want to be a famous novelist

• Increased physical activity increased walking

children walk more

• Healthier eating eat more fruits and vegetables …. Organizations adopt the healthy food policy

Specific

Realistic

Consider the environment, trends, requirements, resources and other factors surrounding your goals.

Avoid using words like, every, each, never, 100%, eliminate – the absolutes tend not to be realistic

•I will write 10,000 novels …. I will write 10 novels

•100% of children walk 20 more minutes …. 50% of children will walk …..

•HCP will facilitate the adoption of the health food policy in all organizations in the County ….HCP will facilitate the adoption of the health food policy in 5 organizations

Realistic

Trends• Reduce teenage pregnancy by 50 per year, when it’s been increasing by 10 each year for

the past 5 years….

Impact • How much will your action impact the goal - obesity and healthy food policy – number who

adopt and when will you see a change in the overall goal

• Build on what you are already doing, for example – you already doing health fairs, what can you do in addition to this that moves the needle? Use the health fair as a way to open up the door to adopting the healthy food policy

Resources available• Staff – if this new goal will take 3 more staff people to achieve, do you have the resources to

do it? • Partners – how can you tap into your partners resources

Use Evidence Based Practices Resources

• The Center for Healthy NC

• Division of Public Health

• The Center for Training and Research Translation (Center TRT):  http://centertrt.org/?p=find_interventions .  The Center TRT efforts focus on providing practitioners with the best available evidence and approaches related to the prevention and control of obesity.  This site includes both strategies and interventions.
