- PRC Webinar Spotlight: University of Iowa Prevention Research Center for Rural Health – Active Iowa
The University of Iowa PRC provided an in-depth look at the implementation to the Active Iowa pilot project, Active Ottumwa, which resulted in a significant community-wide increase in physical activity. These initiatives were developed through principals of Community Engaged Research and Community-Based Participatory Research and materials have been translated to further expand implementation across micropolitan communities.
