Based on responses from key informant interviews and an online community survey of 668 respondents, the 2006 Island County Plan for Healthy Living outlines 13 strategies to overcoming barriers to physical activity and healthy eating and envisions a healthier Island County with residents engaging in healthy habits, such as walking and biking and consumption of fruits and vegetables. The Healthy Island Youth Initiative will assist in implementation of several of these strategy recommendations, including strengthening school-based policies.
