- Abstract: Background: Place-based efforts offer promise in reducing childhood obesity. Yet, lack of public demand and support may hinder implementation. Aims: This study aimed to assess whether the emphasis on place-based solutions, community-wide strategies, and multisector engagement in the Healthy Schools Healthy Communities (HSHC) initiative would shift public views on obesity including the need for greater public involvement and an increase in awareness and support for strategies. Method: As part of the evaluation, two surveys were conducted--in 2014 and 2016--to examine the relationship between HSHC strategies and changes in public perception, support, and awareness of obesity. Both surveys were cross-sectional and conducted with a randomized sample of households. Results: Most respondents indicated that parents/family (84.3% in 2014; 87.8% in 2016) and children (70.9% in 2014; 74.8% in 2016) had a large/very large responsibility for addressing childhood obesity. A higher percentage of 2016 respondents indicated willingness to work with others to increase availability of healthy foods (71.3% vs. 64.2%, respectively; p = 0.0280) and increase the number of places to be physically active in their community (71.1% vs. 60.7%, respectively; p = 0.0015). Discussion: Findings suggest awareness and support of place-based efforts and willingness to engage may help garner ongoing support. However, individuals and families are still perceived as primarily responsible for addressing childhood obesity. Countering this mindset remains an ongoing challenge. Conclusion: Streamlined messaging regarding the issue and associated solutions, enhanced skills and capacity to implement these efforts, and citizen engagement to garner support for place-based initiatives are important.
