Proposed Project

    Evaluation of State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to 
Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases--Reinstatement with Change--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion 
(NCCDHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description:

    The ``State Nutrition and Physical Activity Programs to Prevent 
Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases'' (NPAO) project was established by 
CDC to prevent and control obesity and other chronic diseases by 
supporting States in the development and implementation of nutrition 
and physical activity interventions, particularly through population-
based strategies such as policy-level changes, environmental supports 
and the social marketing process. The goal of the programs in this 
project is to attain population-based behavior change such as increased 
physical activity and better dietary habits; this leads to a reduction 
in the prevalence of obesity, and ultimately to a reduction in the 
prevalence of chronic diseases.
    Evaluation questions for ``State Nutrition and Physical Activity 
Programs to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases'' have been 
previously approved under OMB control no. 0920-0669, which is scheduled 
to expire January 31, 2008. CDC seeks OMB approval to reinstate the 
evaluation in 2008 with changes, in response to feedback from users and 
stakeholders based on experience with the previously

approved questions. The evaluation is designed to focus on the 
recipient activities as outlined in the original funding announcement:
     Capacity building.
     Collaboration.
     Planning.
     Monitoring the burden of obesity.
     Intervention.
     Evaluation.
    Within each of these areas, the plan identifies specific evaluation 
questions that have been chosen for study. The evaluation questions are 
asked of the funded states via a web-based data collection system 
supported by an electronic database every 6 months during the funding 
cycle. The project will continue to be conducted over a 3-year period.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate 
in the survey.
