There are six steps, each of which are reviewed in detail. By breaking down the process into steps, this action packet helps make initiating a change seem more manageable.
Background information and real examples from Maine are included as powerful examples of how change can take place. An evaluation model will help to analyze program outcomes. Also included is a Power Point presentation that can be used to help identify people who are interested in developing policies that support healthy options in vending machines in communities and schools. Helpful resources and hints are also included, including sample questionnaires, press releases, and attendance sheets, and supporting information for both general work sites and schools. The Model School Vending Machine Policy can also be valuable as a great starting point to molding similar policies.
Adult and children and youth fact sheets are included, and all facts are referenced to a specific study. Some of these refer to statistics specific to Maine, which may need to be altered for use in other states. Some resources and references are also specific to Maine.
Action packets are all available online at the web site below. They can be downloaded as a complete packet or in sections.
