Provided technical assistance on health equity to CDC grantees.

Prevention Institute provided technical assistance on health equity, coalition building, and community engagement to six community coalitions that are recipients of CDC’s Division of Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Obesity (DNPAO) grant programs: State Physical Activity and Nutrition (SPAN), High Obesity Program (HOP), and Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH). Technical assistance activities ranged from provision of live coaching and feedback with community coalitions to the development and dissemination of a health equity and racial justice virtual training for state partners. As a result, community coalitions increased their ability to implement strategies that authentically engage community residents, sustainably build coalition infrastructure and integrate health equity and racial justice principles and practices into their work.

Funders: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity via the Veritas Management Group.
