Measures

It's true that "you don't know where you're going unless you know where you've been." For communities that want to improve health among their members, it's important to be able to measure their efforts and successes. Not only does measurement help guide the direction of local efforts, but showing success can motivate members and inspire new ideas. We help communities document their own healthy place successes with easy-to-use measures. We regularly update these tools to meet the latest scientific standards and verify that they are rigorous, meaningful measures of success.
