"Yuma on the Move

Activity" |

Area: |
Physical
Activity |

2010
Objectives:

|
|
Description:
|
During the spring of 1997, a Yuma community task force was formed to
promote physical activity. The task force became known as
"Yuma on the Move". Their vision for the people of
Yuma is that all would understand the benefits of Physical Activity,
include it in their lifestyle, feel better and be healthier.
A Message Campaign was launched, targeting people who were not
thinking about being physically active and those who have thought
about it but have not taken any action. Messages appeared in TV
Public Service Announcements, work-site newsletters, and in posters
and presentations at worksites and in the community.
A Work Site Challenges Campaign was initiated in the Fall of 2001 and
will be repeated in 2002.

"Buckle up Cochise County" |
| Focus
Area: |
Injury
& Violence Prevention |
HA
2010
Objective: |
#1
Reduce
injury, disability and death caused by motor vehicle
crashes. |
|
Description:
|
The
project provides for alternative sentencing for drivers who are cited
for failure to wear seatbelts. In place of a fine, defendants can
either purchase a child safety seat which can be donated, or write a
300-500 word essay in support of safety restraint usage. The local
newspaper prints the essays.
In
addition, the project presents a multi-media safety program to area
third-graders to encourage a lifelong habit of seatbelt usage. A
resource directory has also been developed to inform the community of
the availability of occupant protection.
