Evaluation of a Health Promoting Community Center Network (HPCCN) Innovation.

The purpose of this research study is to design, implement and evaluate the setting for a "Healthy Community Center". This is a program review of a program which will be planned in a community based participatory level, based on the socioecological model. A pre-post design will be utilized where all community centers in the study will be exposed to the intervention components. It is hypothesized that community centers who will receive the intervention will have better skills at building sustainable participatory effective health promotion projects and will provide a healthy setting for the community within its juristiction.
