Abstract

Community engagement represents a critical tool for the successful implementation of lifestyle medicine. This modality consists of a philosophical framework using various social models, an evidence base from specific research methodologies (e.g., community-based participatory research), creation of community relationships, partnerships, and networks, and implementation strategies that take into account particular enablers and barriers to success. A successful example is detailed and it describes a patient-centered home and childhood fitness program in Yakima, WA. An evidence base is also provided summarizing key studies on community engagement.
