In partnership with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Nutrition and Physical Activity Branch (NPAB), ChangeLab Solutions supported the development of this suite of resources to advance healthy eating and active living policies. These resources are relevant to both California audiences, including those who work at local health departments (LHDs), as well as public health practitioners and community leaders in other US states.

Through this partnership, we developed a variety of resources that support policy work on nutrition and physical activity-related public health efforts. We recommend starting with our local policy agenda to explore the wide variety of policy options available to local governments, school boards, anchor institutions, businesses, and other community partners.

These case studies examine strategies that have demonstrated efficacy for improving community health, including sugary drink taxes, active transportation, healthy beverage procurement, and food procurement. They were created to help state policymakers and local leaders understand how policy approaches are designed and implemented to improve health outcomes and advance equity.
