Author: Peggy Jones

Planning Unit: Rowan County CES

Major Program: Active Living and Health Promotions General

Plan of Work: FCS Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In an effort to promote overall wellness to the clients of Rowan County, the Family and Consumer Science Agent offered the Big Blue Goals program in the Spring of 2021. Rowan County has many health concerns in Eastern Kentucky. We lead at high rates of cancer, diabetes, obesity and heart disease.  The Big Blue Goals program encouraged participants to make huge changes over 10 weeks and to track their progress daily.  Participants could choose their own goals in fruit and vegetable consumption, controlling impulse spending, getting adding to their physical activity, and spending more dedicated family time. Participants received on line education based on the specific goals they chose and a tracking sheet to keep up with their progress. 

Rowan County had 20 people participate in the Big Blue Goals program initially.  During the Ten weeks, 50% stayed with this long commitment for an education program that requires interaction daily. 

50% of the participants completed their goals and were successful with tracking their progress and interacting with the program.

80% of the participants stated that they enjoyed the activity but felt that it was too long
