DOI: 10.1123/jpah.2018-0623
Abstract: BACKGROUND Local health departments (LHDs) are increasingly involved in Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIPs), a collaborative planning process that represents an opportunity for prioritizing physical activity. We determined the proportion of LHDs reporting active transportation… read more here.
