Data Overview
This overview summarizes archival documents, publications, surveys, and baseline data findings to inform the community action planning process for Healthy Belvedere. Healthy Belvedere is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente, the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, and the Belvedere community – located in southeast DeKalb County, Georgia. The primary objective of the partnership is to foster sustainable environmental changes and policies that support healthy eating and active living (HEAL) and reduce disease burden.
To accomplish this aim, Healthy Belvedere has taken an evidence-based approach that values local community voice and input. An Initiating Committee (IC) of local stakeholders was formed in late 2006 and collaborated with the Georgia Health Policy Center to study and understand the state of HEAL in Belvedere. The following is a synopsis of what has been learned to date, and is organized by demographics, health behaviors, environment, and policy and future plans.
