Web-based trainings
The Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation offers a variety of web-based trainings designed specifically for public health practitioners working in nutrition, physical activity, obesity and chronic disease prevention programs. Instruction provides practitioners with training on:
- current scientific recommendations for healthy eating and active living;
- planning, adopting and evaluating interventions; and,
- implementation of specific evidence-based interventions.
Training modules are available online, allow users to work at their own pace and take approximately two hours of screen time. Each module provides an overview of the topic; presentation of the evidence-base for recommendations; interactive activities; case studies/examples; required readings as well as links to additional resources. An evaluation and tracking system is built into each of the training modules to allow users to print a certificate after completing the module, post test and evaluation components.
The following trainings are currently available:
- Nutrition, Physical Activity and Chronic Disease Series
- Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment in Child Care (NAP SACC)
- A New Leaf...Choices for Healthy Living
- RE-AIM Online
