Local Implementation of the Wisconsin Nutrition and Physical Activity State Plan - Intervention Action Plan
Your long-term strategic plan should set the groundwork for a specific intervention action plan. (If you don't have a strategic plan, go to the strategic plan page.) Compared to the strategic plan, the intervention action plan is for a shorter term, more detailed, and specific to a targeted intervention. An example of an intervention action plan would be to work with schools to develop or expand after-school activities for children and make the school facilities available in off hours to members of the community.
Carefully planning an intervention on the front end will greatly increase the likelihood of success. The resources below will help guide you through the intervention planning process.
