Figure 2. Percentage of states reporting environmental changes through policies, legislation, and other environmental changes. Data are based on December 2004 progress reports from the 20 state programs and reflect environmental changes that
were initiated and planned between January and June 2004. Other environmental changes
are strategies other than policies and legislation, such as urban planning, that
alter or control the legal, social, economic, and physical environment affecting
nutrition and physical activity.

Figure 3. Percentage of interventions incorporating key
evidence-based strategies. Percentages were calculated based on 29 active
interventions from January to June 2004. Because some interventions incorporated
multiple strategies, totals across all columns exceed 100%.
