通过"亚利桑那州更健康的步骤"，建立了一种独特的伙伴关系，以接触亚利桑那州南部文化多样的农村社区。这种伙伴关系包括地方、区域和州机构和联盟，重点是减少慢性病和健康差距的负担。本文介绍了一项旨在预防儿童肥胖和糖尿病的计划的成功。尤马县的合作伙伴与儿童保育提供者合作，实施促进幼儿积极营养和体育活动行为的组织最佳做法。由于这个项目，尤马县实施最佳做法的儿童保育中心数量增加。此外，连锁反应已经超出了个别儿童保育环境，进入更广泛的地方和国家幼儿发展系统。在全州幼儿发展和健康倡议的背景下，亚利桑那州的国家行动计划SACC方案的"更健康的步骤"使利益攸关方能够融入这些进步。
Through Steps to a Healthier Arizona, a unique partnership was developed to reach the culturally diverse, rural communities of Southern Arizona. This partnership included local, regional, and state agencies and coalitions focused on reducing the burden of chronic disease and health disparities. This article describes the success of a program aimed at preventing childhood obesity and diabetes. Partners in Yuma County worked with child care providers to implement organizational best practices which promote positive nutrition and physical activity behaviors in young children. As a result of this project, the number of child care centers in Yuma County implementing best practices increased. Additionally a ripple effect has reached beyond the individual child care setting, into broader local and state early childhood development systems. Taking place against the backdrop of state-wide initiatives in early childhood development and health, the Steps to a Healthier Arizona's NAP SACC program positioned stakeholders to integrate with these advances.
