We want to hear from you!
Are you part of a coalition working on food, nutrition, physical activity, breastfeeding, and/or health and wellness? We are asking coalitions from across Wisconsin to take this brief survey to tell us about your priorities and challenges. The information gathered will be used by the Chronic Disease Prevention Program to better understand and support the needs of coalitions in Wisconsin.
Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity in Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Program provides statewide leadership to decrease overweight and obesity, increase physical activity, and improve nutrition.
Located in the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the Program and its partners have historically developed and implemented the Wisconsin Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity State Plan to accomplish the overall goal of preventing obesity and chronic disease statewide, and more recently developed the Wisconsin Physical Activity and Nutrition Road Map (P-03170) (PDF) to serve and support Wisconsin communities and their efforts to create healthier places and spaces that center equity and support optimal health.
Little more than 5 out of 10 Wisconsin adults meet the physical activity recommendation of at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week.
