Résumé
Almost a quarter of Pohnpei's population is overweight or obese, a major factor influencing a 2010 non-communicable diseases (NCD) emergency declaration. The Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) project in Pohnpei is implementing a culturally tailored policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) intervention to reduce NCDs through healthy nutrition projects. Through collaboration with traditional leaders and using traditional protocols, REACH succeeded in soliciting formal approval from a Traditional Monarch to serve only healthy beverages during events at all traditional houses in the municipality. The Governor, in turn, also supported this initiative. This project cultivated relationships with traditional and government leaders to implement a culturally appropriate healthy nutrition PSE change intervention.
