Evidence-Based Public Health Framework
Brownson RC, Gurney JG, Land G. 1999. Evidence-based decision making in public health. J Public Health Manag Pract. 5:86–97. 2
Disclaimer• Step 1 (Q1–Q3) and Step 2 results include existing Colorado
data only, data limitations and gaps exist in these data. Results presented do not include results from the research literature or information from personal experience.
• The results presented are not a fully comprehensive analysis of all available Colorado data related to obesity, physical activity, and nutrition. A few additional indicators could be analyzed, and additional disparities and trends could be analyzed.
• Step 3 is a summary of data presented here. Because of limitations and gaps associated with Steps 1–2, there are limitations to the conclusions drawn in Step 3. I.e., Step 3 is a summary of what the existing Colorado data tells us.
Step 1: Community AssessmentWhat is it?
• Define the health issue according to the needs and assets of the population/community of interest
• Can include:–Population characteristics, needs, values, and
preferences–Resources, including practitioner expertise–Environmental and organizational context
4
Step 1: Community Assessment What is the purpose?
• Provide insight into the community context• Ensure interventions will be designed and
implemented to maximize benefit to communities
• Make decisions on where to focus resources and interventions
• Ensure all partners understand the issues
5
Step 1: Community AssessmentWhat are potential data sources?
• U.S. Census and American Community Survey• State Demography Office• Special surveys and survey questions
– E.g., State-added BRFSS and CHS questions• Focus groups• Key informant interviews

behaviors• Colorado is known nationally as a healthy state with
the lowest obesity prevalence
31
Step 1: Community Assessment Q6. What are the opportunities for increasing physical
activity and healthy eating?
• Obesity is currently a priority area for CDPHE, PSD, and many local health agencies– Obesity prevention and control strategies will be a part of
the PSD work plan and local health agencies’ work plans as part of the Public Health Improvement Plans
• Strong partnerships with stakeholders, such as LiveWell Colorado, Colorado Health Foundation, and Kaiser Permanente
• Colorado is known nationally as a healthy state with the lowest obesity prevalence
32
Step 1: Community Assessment Q6. What are the opportunities for increasing physical
activity and healthy eating?Examples of key partners’ current and recent activities: • LiveWell Colorado
http://about.livewellcolorado.org/sites/default/files/lwc-2010-ann-report.pdf – Funding community coalitions– Policy Blueprints– School food programs
• Culinary Boot Camp (also funded by CHF)• School Meal Assessment Program• Eatwell@school cooking competition• Go, Slow, Whoa elementary school food education program
– Let’s Move! campaign partnerships– Social marketing initiatives– Data collection and analysis of school wellness policy implementation, healthy food access in
low income communities, and active transportation infrastruture (with KP)• Colorado Health Foundation (CHF)
– Health is Here campaign– Funds healthy living initiatives, such as Smart Meal– Food desert programs

public health system?
○ Staff with expertise in a variety of related areas:– Subject-area expertise/knowledge (e.g., nutrition, breastfeeding,
school health)– Legal/policy work– City planning– Epidemiology, planning, and evaluation
× Staff workloads are high, efforts are sometimes spread thin
× High staff turnover with resulting loss of historical program knowledge
34
Step 1: Community Assessment Q7. What are the competencies and capacities of the
public health system?10 Essential Public Health Services http://www.cdc.gov/nphpsp/essentialservices.html

• Fruit/vegetable consumption (adult, adolescent, and child)– Consumed 100% fruit juices, fruit, green salad, potatoes [excluding
French fries, fried potatoes, or potato chips], carrots, or other vegetables less than 5 times during the 7 days before the survey
• Sugary drink consumption– Question asked of adolescents: During the past 7 days, how many times
did you drink a can, bottle, or glass of soda or pop, such as Coke, Pepsi, or Sprite? (Do not include diet soda or diet pop.)
– Question asked of adults and child’s parent: On a typical day, how many glasses or cans of regular soda pop or other sweetened drinks, such as fruit punch or sports drinks [do you/does (child’s name)] drink? Do NOT count diet drinks.

Step 2: Quantify the issue Healthy Eating Definitions
• Consumption of sweets– Question asked of child’s parent: On a typical day, how many servings of
sweets, such as cookies, candy, doughnuts, pastries, cake or popsicles does (child’s name) have?
• Fast food consumption– Question asked of adults and child’s parent: Now think about the past
WEEK. In the past 7 days, how many times did [you/(he/she)] eat fast food? Include fast food meals eaten at school or at home, or at fast food restaurants, carryout or drive thru.
• Food insecurity– Question asked of child’s parent (food insecurity=response of “Often
true” or “Sometimes true”: You relied on only a few kinds of low-cost food to feed (child’s name) because you were running out of money to buy food.

• 2004 Bill SB04-103• Concerning Policies to Increase the Inclusion of Nutritious Choices in School Vending Machines• Summary: Directs each school district board of education to adopt a policy by July 1, 2004 that requires, by
the 2006-07 school year, at least 50% of items offered in school vending machines to be healthful foods or beverages. Prohibits, as of January 1, 2005, school districts from entering into or renewing contracts that provide for the sale of nonhealthful foods or beverages from school vending machines. Permits the Department of Education to withhold school district’s equalization dollars at an amount equal to the estimated district’s profits from the sale of nonhealthful foods or beverages originating from school vending machines and that withheld dollars be used to assist school districts in providing school breakfast programs in low-performing schools.

Step 2: Quantify the issueBreastfeeding at 6 months — Trend
This is not a statistically significant increase from 2004 to 2010.
• The disparity in breastfeeding rates between higher-income women and women of minority and lower-income populations is well-documented, with lower rates found among lower-income women. As a consequence, these women and their infants are at increased risk for precisely the diseases and illnesses that breastfeeding protects against.
• In Colorado, only 39 percent of Latinas are breastfeeding their infants at 6 months of age while 58 percent of white women are breastfeeding at 6 months. (National Immunization Survey)
• A total of 31 percent of white, 29 percent of Hispanic and 25 percent of African-American women participating in the Colorado WIC program (income at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level) are breastfeeding their infants at 6 months of age.

• Step 2 includes all self-reported data. Child Health Survey data are reported by the parent for the child. These data are subject to biases, including recall bias.
• Physical activity– Only leisure time physical activity is included for adults; data on active
transportation and work-related physical activity are not included; cannot accurately compare data to current physical activity recommendations
• Healthy eating– Fruit and vegetable consumption is measured in times/day rather than
servings/day; cannot accurately compare data to current recommendations• Disparities
– Analysis of disparities is limited by small sample sizes for sub-populations (e.g., Black race, rural counties); standard errors of prevalence estimates are often too large to effectively make comparisons across sub-populations.
• Trends– Trend data availability varies by indicator; short-term changes in trends might
not be evident or expected. 90
Step 2: Quantify the issue Data Limitations
• Full assessment of disparities across physical activity and healthy eating• Data on related factors (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, injuries)• Worksite wellness data• Physical activity data gaps
– Data on active transportation and work-related physical activity to get the full picture of an adult’s physical activity level
– Objectively measured data on availability, safety, and continuity and connectivity of sidewalks and trails; availability and cost of facilities and programs for physical activity
– Perceptions of sidewalk, trail, and park safety; sidewalk and trail continuity and connectivity
• Healthy eating data gaps– Additional data on dietary intake to get the full picture of an adult’s eating
pattern– Data on options for healthy foods other than grocery stores (e.g., farmers’
markets, community gardens, food banks)– Objectively measured data on availability of affordable healthy food options 91

Step 3: Develop a concise statement of the issue
Step 3: Develop a concise statement of the issueWhat is it?
• Purpose: To build support for the issue with an organization, policy makers, or a funding agency
• Describes the mission, internal strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats, and vision for the future
• Often helpful to describe gaps between the current status of a program or organization and the desired goals.

Step 3: Develop a concise statement of the issue
What are the considerations?
Step 3: Concise statement of the issue
• The state health department has been charged by the governor with developing and implementing prevention and control strategies to reduce the obesity prevalence in Colorado.
• Obesity has been identified as a CDPHE Winnable Battle and is a priority for the Prevention Services Division at CDPHE.
• Six local public health agencies have identified obesity as a Winnable Battle and priority issue as part of their CHAPS planning process. Additional agencies could follow suit.
•The prevalence of obesity in Colorado is increasing, particularly among adults, and the state’s population is aging. Over the same period the prevalence of physical activity and fruit & vegetable consumption have been stable among adults. •However, the majority of adults, adolescents, and children do not meet the recommended levels for weekly physical activity or daily fruit and vegetable consumption. Too many Coloradans eat and drink high-caloric, low-nutrient, and processed food too often.•Older adults are less active than younger adults, but they eat fruits and vegetables more often. •The Hispanic population is increasing, and its members have a higher prevalence of obesity, lower levels of physical activity, and lower fruit & vegetable consumption than Whites. •Females and adults with low income or low education are less active than their counterparts.
Step 3: Concise statement of the issue
• Few (1/14) adult workers use active means to commuteto work.
• Only 1/5 adolescents and children have daily PE class. • Many children exceed recommendations for screen time. • The majority of children eat fast food weekly. • Breastfeeding exclusivity at 6 months was below the HP2020
target. • Perceived barriers to healthy living include lack of time and
money more than lack of access to healthy food or facilities for physical activity.
• About 1/5 parents report that it is difficult for their child to be active in the local park because it lacks adequate space or equipment.
Step 3: Concise statement of the issue
• Programmatic Issues: The public health challenge of obesity is underfunded. Obesity results from a complex interplay of various, individual, social, economic, and environmental pressures and incentives. Until now, there has not been a coordinated response to the problem that reaches across state and local government, the nonprofit community, and the private sector.
• Future vision:PSD Programs and Services will use evidence-based strategies in targeted ways to efficiently and effectively address the obesity epidemic in Colorado. PSD Programs and Services will collaborate and coordinate with partners to implement a multi-faceted approach to the obesity problem, which facilitates addressing the socio-ecological root causes.
