PSE READI Team and collaborators have designed an assessment tool for each PSE intervention area. Users can assess their community’s readiness, plan a tailored intervention, and utilize additional resources to put your community nutrition plan into action.
The PSE READI is a tool that provides policy, system, and environmental guidance for the following six areas:
Farmers’ Markets, Healthy Eating in Childcare, Healthy Food Retail, Farm to School, Food Pantries, and K-12 Schools.
Each PSE READI will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Users can take assessments individually or as part of a larger team (i.e., community partners). After completing the PSE-READI, a report with three evidence-based recommendations are generated to help practitioners sustain and improve healthy eating environments.
The PSE READI is currently available for Ohio and Wisconsin. Access is granted at a state level. Interested in your state? Contact [email protected]
The PSE READI can be used to assess your community’s readiness and capacity to implement community nutrition PSEs. We provide support to Assess, Plan, and Act based on local community readiness and capacity.
You can take the online PSE Readiness Assessment and Decision Instrument (READI) to assess your community’s readiness and capacity to implement community nutrition PSEs.
After taking an assessment and generating your results, refer to our library of resources to help you contextualize your recommendations and guide your PSE planning efforts.
After planning your PSE intervention and exploring your community context, take action! Refer to our Act page to learn more about success stories and plan your next steps
