Supporting Data Program Results <br /> The concept of healthier lifestyles is generally well <br /> accepted, yet hard to sell . People are reluctant to become <br /> involved in behavior changing activities for a number of <br /> obvious reasons . Thus the entire concept of viewing wellness <br /> as enhancing and not deprivation is essential to the success <br /> of the Healthy People program. In measurement terms , it is <br /> difficult to measure behavior changes , expecially in a large <br /> municipal segment , with no study control measures . The <br /> only standards in which to compile results would <br /> ve numbers of participants in the program. <br /> lthough response of those involved has been favorable, <br /> suggested records to keep over the three year period would <br /> be recommended : <br /> -Revenues from Healthy People classes <br /> -Revenues from exercise/fitness classes <br /> -Age, sex of participants in each class <br /> -Receptive populations within the community in which to <br /> provide services , 1 . e. business , schools , churches 1111 <br /> -Compliance rate for participants in an ongoing fitness class <br /> (indicating lifestyle behavior changes) <br /> . <br />
