members, educators, health care professionals, and school-aged children to education about
disease prevention and self-management, healthy lifestyles, increased availability of health care
services and screening, and increased access to and consumption of healthy foods. Major
planned intermediate outcomes include: increased awareness of the benefits of a healthy
lifestyle, the risks of diseases and the advantages of proper treatment for chronic diseases; more
community residents engaging a healthier lifestyle; increased access to healthier environments;
and increased correct diagnosis of and appropriate care for people with chronic diseases.
