ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A tri-ethnic rural community with limited resources and a university Prevention Research Center (PRC) developed a partnership to promote evidence-based physical activity.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how a community-university partnership can disseminate and implement á¼e Commu nity Guide's recommendations for increasing physical activity and create a model for other under-resourced communities experiencing high rates of chronic disease.METHODS:
Qualitative data collected through 47 semistructured interviews, meeting minutes, and local newspaper articles were coded for themes and analyzed for patterns across the data.RESULTS:
Implementation resulted in the creation of new paths and trails, increased walkability throughout the community, local park enhancements, and a community-wide campaign. Lessons learned included the importance of community-defined goals and outcomes, leadership, volunteerism, mutually beneficial goals, synergy, and having nontraditional partners.CONCLUSION:
This research provides a community-university partnership model for implementing evidence-based strategies to increase physical activity in rural communities.
