The Value of Our Health
The Value of Our Health is a 12-month program. Community health workers (CHWs) lead the first six months of structural and social change activities, followed by six months of store manager and employee-led activities, and technical assistance from CHWs. During the first 6 months, CHWs will work directly with the store staff to plan for structural changes at the store to promote fruit and vegetable (FV) purchasing and consumption. CHWs will deliver store staff training to promote FVs. CHWs will welcome customers into the program at the store by offering social and structural change strategies directed to customers and reinforced by store managers and employees. CHWs will work with employees to deliver a Point of Purchase campaign highlighting recipes and fresh FV sold in the stores. Employees will receive newsletters that reinforce their training. During months 7-12, CHWs will visit the store to support the maintenance of social and structural changes made in the first 6 months.
