Using ENACT is simple:
- Select an environment of interest from the list of seven on the left hand menu
- Assess your current status for each strategy based on the 5-point assessment scale (see key below for additional information) located at the bottom of each table. Write this number in the far right column labeled "Current Status."
- Prioritize each of the listed strategies (High, Medium, or Low) and write the result in the left hand column. Depending on the result of your overall assessment, you may decide to:
- Strengthen your overall nutrition and physical activity foundation by prioritizing as "high" those activities that are not highly developed (a score of 1-2)
- Build on your successes by prioritizing as "high" those activities that could be developed even further (a score of 3-4)
- Click on each prioritized strategy to obtain practical "how-to" information for implementation,* including tools, resources, articles, model policies and programs.
