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

Overview:

This is a 90-minute recording of a live webinar held on February 17, 2023.

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.
