New Jersey Partnership for Healthy Kids Coalition Assessment

The New Jersey Partnership for Healthy Kids (NJPHK) is an initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and aims to reduce the prevalence of childhood obesity in five high need cities in New Jersey. The NJPHK State Program Office (SPO) is leading an effort to establish community coalitions in these five cities that will design and implement interventions for creating environments and policies that support access to affordable healthy foods and provide opportunities for safe physical activity in places where children live, learn and play. To ensure these community coalitions are effective and continue to improve their functioning in the face of various challenges, CSHP will conduct an online survey of the members of community coalitions in the five NJ cities to assess their strengths and weaknesses in order to help them and the SPO take deliberate steps for continuous improvement.
