  10. C.H.A.N.G.E.Sample Questions Community-At-Large Sector Physical Activity To what extent does the Tribe encourage walking by developing, maintaining, and/or promoting walking routes to, from and around tribal properties? To what extent does the tribe offer, promote, or provide access to traditional cultural physical activities like dancing? Leadership Does the Tribe have a health promotion budget? Nutrition To what extent does the Tribe use locally grown and traditional foods at Tribal restaurants and events? Tobacco To what extent does the Tribe prohibit commercial tobacco use for outdoor public places? Chronic Disease Management To what extent does the Tribe educate Tribal members about obesity prevention?

  11. C.H.A.N.G.E. Sample Questions • Health Care Sector • Physical Activity • To what extent do health care providers assess patients’ physical activity during routine office visits? • Nutrition • To what extent do the health care facilities provide free or low cost weight management or nutrition programs? • Tobacco • To what extent do health care providers provide regular counseling about the harm of commercial tobacco use and exposure during routine office visits? • Chronic Disease Management • To what extent do the health care facilities have a systematic approach to diabetes care? • Leadership • To what extent do the health care facilities provide access to medical services outside of regular working hours ?

C.H.A.N.G.E. 20-40 Questions in each sector Major Community Events, Health Care, Education, Tribal Government, Work Site Score Policy 1 - Not identified as a problem 3 – Policy formulation and adoption 5 – Policy evaluation and enforcement Environment 1 – Elements not in place 3 – Some elements in place 5 – All elements in place

  13. C.H.A.N.G.E. Findings Chronic Disease Management Received high scores except Major Community Events had scores less than 3 Reason: No onsite preventative medical screenings and chronic disease management education and prevention Education (Afterschool/Summer Programs/ Head Start and Tutoring) Lower score due to inconsistent engaging of parents in chronic disease prevention for Tribal youth Tribal Community low scores for use of traditional wellness to address chronic disease

  14. CHANGE Findings Nutrition Low policy scores but high environmental. Many evaluated a 2 for policy and a 3 for environmental support. Indicating support from some but not consistent enough for policy. Examples: nutrition labeling of foods at Tribal events, healthy options at all Tribal events, healthy vending machines, access to refrigeration for staff, weight loss programs, promotion and education regarding traditional foods, programming to support community gardens, etc.

  15. C.H.A.N.G.E. Findings Physical Activity Most differences between sectors For Example: Education and Tribal Community had only one score below 3 but worksite had many 1 and 2 scores. The environmental score for traditional cultural physical activities was 4 however, the policy score was 1. Midwinter gathering and Restoration Celebration had both scored low for policy but high in environmental.
