Abstract

This article describes the collaborative development of the cross-site evaluation of the Food & Fitness initiative. Evaluators and community partners together created a multi-site evaluation to document similarities and unique aspects across the work in the nine participating communities. The evaluation includes measures of partner engagement, resources, processes, and outcomes of achieving systems and policy change, and impact of the work in vulnerable communities. Inherent in and critical to the evaluation is a process for providing feedback to communities and stakeholders. Pioneering ways to assess the process of achieving systems and policy change and the impact of this work on children and families, the Food & Fitness cross-site evaluation is creating a picture of the collective accomplishments of these community partnerships, which are doing innovative work related to equity around food access and the built environment.
