Abstract
  • Generating Rural Options for Weight (GROW) Healthy Kids and Communities aims to prevent overweight and obesity in rural children and communities. Many characteristics of rural communities are associated with overweight and obesity in children, including environmental attributes that make it difficult for children to access and consume healthy foods and participate in physical activity to maintain a balanced energy equation. GROW:HKC encourages community health action through resident engagement in research that uses various activities to identify supports/barriers to healthy eating and physical activity. HEAL MAPPS™ is the tool developed by GROW HKC researchers to help collect the qualitative data with and from communities.
