Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Tuesday, October 5^th

• Welcome introduction and state report highlights: State PI’s and group advisor provided an update of individual, department, college, university, and state-level changes and announcements.
• Research & Grant Planning – Objective 1: Dissemination and implementation of Healthy Campus Research Consortium (HCRC’s) suite of tools that utilize a policy, systems, and environment (PSE) approach for campuses. Discussed potential timing, recruitment, dissemination strategies, and working committees related to conference grant for this objective. 
• Research & Grant Planning- Objective 2: Development of policy, systems, environment (PSE) assessment tools for low income urban and rural communities considering social determinants of health and influential disruptive factors (IDFs). Reviewed different aims and phases of data collection (qualitative) related to this effort, plans for completing data collection and which states would be contributing data, and future abstracts and publications based on work. 

 Wednesday, October 6^th

• Research and Grant Planning – objective 3: Expanded understanding of college students’ dietary patterns considering social determinants of health and influential disruptive factors (IDFs) with an emphasis on food insecurity, mental health, and the built environment. Discussed which environmental assessment tools were completed/ready (beta testing vs. pilot testing vs. validation), what trainings need to be developed, which PIs would serve as point for each, and timing for trainings to be drafted. Proposal was discussed and states were invited to participate in the development of a survey related to food insecurity targeting college students. 
• Research and Grant Planning – objective 4: Exploration and interpretation of interactions between lifestyle behaviors and environmental factors using big data analysis techniques with multiple data sets. Group discussed the multiple data sets and ways to organize and generate appropriate research questions.  
• Leadership and committee assignments & future meetings: Identified PIs for future leadership roles for the administrative executive committee (chair and secretary) and subcommittees (Policies, Procedures, and Reports; Information, Data, and Outputs; and Program Planning). Identified potential monthly meeting dates/times for spring. 
• Policies and procedures: Discussed state report content/format, annual reporting requirements and due dates, member expectations (definitions and terms), and potential changes to policies and procedures document. 
• Reviewed Action Items and Summarize Plans: Reviewed deadlines and due dates discussed for multi-state objectives, PIs responsible for follow-up communications, and next steps regarding monthly meeting dates/times. 

Target Audience: Young adults, university campus community, urban and rural communities experiencing low-income.

Accomplishments: The NC1193 multistate group continues to develop and refine tools to assess the healthfulness of college campuses and communities where young adults live to effectively disseminate information that can be used by campus administrators and stakeholders to make changes that support and sustain healthier environments for young adults. The research impacts from this group have the potential for extensive health care cost savings. The research outcomes target pre-symptom behaviors and those items supporting pre-symptom behaviors. Consumption of adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables is positively correlated with prevention of cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, this work has increased awareness regarding the importance of environmental supports needed for healthier choices with stakeholders such as university administrators, faculty, staff, and students. A USDA conference grant was submitted and selected for funding. Collaborative publications totaled 36 and presentations totaled 27. 

Healthy Campus Environmental Audit (HCEA): Tool completion and trainings to be developed.

• Tools completed: VEND (vending), SHELF (convenience stores), FRESH (dining/restaurants)
• Established goals for developing trainings for both campus and community on the following tools: 
  1. VEND
  2. FRESH
  3. SHELF
  4. Walkability/bike-ability (PACE)
  5. POINTES (policies and initiatives)
  6. Demographics
  7. NEMS-S (Online training)
  8. NEFPAT (Online training)
  9. REC Assessment

Behavioral Environmental Perceptions (BEPS):

• Aim 1 (Pre Covid-19) and Aim 2 (Covid-19) data collection by state completed and manuscript preparation based on qualitative data collected. 
• Goals established for additional data collection - Focus groups/interviews for the following groups:
  • Aim 2 (COVID-19) Phase 2 Community Stakeholders
  • Aim 2 (COVID-19) Phase 3 Community Residents

The 5-year termination report was submitted and this project was renewed for the next 5 years. 

Training:
