The guide also presents two new frameworks to support strategic planning:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provided support for the development of the resource under cooperative agreement OT18-1802 supporting the Active People, Healthy NationSM Initiative, a national initiative led by the CDC to help 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027. The findings and conclusions in the resource are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
