Physical Activity Guidelines and Move Your Way®: NC & MS Health Departments Implement Physical Activ

12:00 PM - 1:30 PM

Physical Activity Guidelines and Move Your Way®: NC & MS Health Departments Implement Physical Activ

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) developed the Move Your Way® campaign in 2018 to share key recommendations from the second edition of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. The campaign aims to increase awareness and knowledge of the guidelines, physical activity self-efficacy, and ultimately change behavior. It includes over 80 free resources, such as posters, fact sheets, and videos, that are available in English and Spanish and tested with diverse audiences. This webinar will provide an overview of the campaign, highlight how community pilots from health departments in Cabarrus County, North Carolina and Jackson, Mississippi successfully implemented Move Your Way®, and describe strategies for how public health professionals and organizations can leverage the campaign to promote physical activity in their communities.

By the end of this webinar you will be able to:

  • Discuss the recommendations from the Physical Activity Guidelines for different audiences.
  • Describe how to communicate about the Guidelines using audience-tailored, easy-to-understand, inclusive messages.
  • Identify practical strategies to leverage free physical activity promotional campaign resources to promote physical activity to key audiences.
