8. Our aim for SCALE is…..
EXAMPLE: By Dec 2016, at least 25% of adults in our community will lessen their risk for future chronic diseases by engaging in physical activity opportunities, as measured by social media campaign challenge reach/activity.
We plan to improve equity by implementing strategies to ensure minority populations are equally engaged in physical activity opportunities and the social media campaign challenge as the population as a whole.
