The primary goal of McDowell CHOICES (Coordinated Health Opportunities Involving Communities, Environments, and Schools) in a rural county in West Virginia is for all schools to develop and implement a CSPAP that would increase opportunities for children to meet the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity. This session will provide participants with details of a comprehensive planning effort, using results to determine needed changes, and the development and implementation of CSPAP in each school.
