Investing in Kentucky’s Future: Planning Phase Results
IKF Initiative Aim 4 Aim: To reduce the risk that today’s school- aged children will develop chronic diseases as they grow into adults.
Planning Grantees 5
IKF Planning Phase 6 Initiative design Locally driven Multi-sector coalitions Technical assistance & support to build capacity Funded planning & assessment Grantee requirements Community assessment Prioritization of one health issue Identification of sustainable, implementation strategies Development of a business plan $ Cash match
IKF data collection Annual grantee web survey Document review (e.g., progress/final reports & business plans) Annual grantee site visits Technical assistance calls Event participation surveys Coalition member interviews Coalition member survey School surveys
Key findings Grantee’s successfully engaging partners to collaboratively complete a robust planning and assessment process IKF approach (locally-driven health improvement with funded planning phase) was appreciated, empowered communities, and increased ownership IKF requirements regarding cash match & business plan were challenging and more time consuming than anticipated Technical assistance was valued & beneficial, but it was not enough to “level the playing field” between higher and lower resourced communities

Who we’ve heard from—survey response 23
Most kids getting some physical activity, but not meeting the target. 24 # of days of physical activity Amount of physical activity yesterday (any type) 21% TARGET

Health behavior change: obesity School environment & role models Individual health & behaviors Interaction/activities with students re: nutrition & physical activity School policies Beliefs about academic performance & healthy behaviors Teacher/staff survey
Teacher Survey: Baseline Highlights 30 Participation from 327 teachers & staff across three counties Majority think it’s feasible to strengthen school nutrition & physical activity policies. Teachers talk with their students more about the importance of physical activity than nutrition. Teachers/staff think students need more opportunities to be physically active in the classroom and during lunch/recess.
