To empower faith communities to take charge of their health and thrive physically, mentally and spiritually, faith-based organizations in Newark, Paterson, and Trenton implemented the Faithful Families Thriving Communities curriculum (Faithful Families), a “practice-tested intervention” that focuses on healthy environmental and policy changes within faith communities. The NJ Department of Health asked CSHP to evaluate the FIP Initiative and the evaluation has two specific objectives: 1) analysis of outcome measures from the FIP Initiative; 2) analysis of outcome measures from the biometric data collection component of the FIP Initiative.
