Active Living captures ways in which AZ Health Zone programs are working with communities to support increased physical activity and decreased sedentary behavior through changes to policies, systems, and environments, including the built environment. The AZ Health Zone promotes two SNAP-Ed policy, systems and environmental (PSE) strategies that target Active Living, focused on the Built Environment and on Physical Activity Resources. These strategies are supported by eight activities to advance PSE work.

Evaluation of Active Living
SEEDS. Every year, LIAs report all support provided to partners using the SNAP-Ed Electronic Data System (SEEDS). This helps us to understand what supports are provided.
SARN. Every year LIAs complete the Semi-Annual Report Narrative (SARN), describing their work in words and images. This helps us to understand how and why supports work or encounter challenges.
FACT-GO. For the Food Systems and Active Living Goals Assessment LIAs work with communities to identify and measure progress toward Active Living or Food Systems Policy goals. It is available to complete any year.
PARA. For the Physical Activity Resource Assessment, LIAs work with local residents and physical activity (PA) resource partners like Parks & Recreation departments to assess the condition of qualifying community PA resources. It is available to complete in any year.
