2009 CityMatCH Urban MCH Leadership ConferenceRESULTSPedNSS data revealed a positive trend in the first two years of data analyzed, with the percent of childrenaged two to four years who were “overweight” decreasing from 19.4% in 2006 to 17.9% in 2007.Between 05-06 and 06-07, CHKS data likewise revealed positive trends, with improvement in lightexercise (increasing from a mean of 3.44 to 3.53 times per week) and in fruit consumption (increasingfrom a mean of 1.85 to 2.09 times per day).In the CPFT, improvement in the percentage of children passing 6 out of 6 fitness standards was evidentin both genders and all racial/ethnic groups between 05-06 and 06-07. Examples include overallimprovement (from 35.1% to 38.1%), and improvement in the Hispanic (from 23.4% to 26.1%) andChinese (from 51.2% to 53.9%) populations.Three years of data were analyzed for Task Force member surveys (05-06, 06-07 and 07-08). Each year30 or more people completed the surveys, approximately one-half of active GHSMC members. Onequestion asked members if they “have increased confidence in County's ability to address this healthissue.” The percentages for “strongly agree” plus “agree” changed from 86% to 78% to 84% over thethree years.Accomplishments (e.g., creation of the clearinghouse www.gethealthysmc.org), challenges (e.g., underrepresentationby youth and under-served communities) and recommendations (e.g, highlight local workduring Task Force meetings) were identified by all eight committees.LIMITATIONSThe data collected only begin to describe the complex factors influencing child health, nutrition andphysical activity indicators, and health outcomes. Existing data sources describe certain populations,namely, low-income children (PedNSS), and children in participating public schools (CPFT and CHKS).Task Force member surveys capture information from about one-half of regular Task Force members.CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONSThese data suggest improvement in nutrition and physical activity indicators for San Mateo Countychildren – ongoing assessment is needed to see if these trends continue. New data sources are beingidentified and analyzed to provide a broader picture of environmental impacts on health (e.g., availabilityof healthy food options in neighborhoods). The work of engaging diverse stakeholders and providingthem with clear benefits from participation in the GHSMC Task Force is ongoing.125
