A1: Topic Identification
Physical Activity
The chosen public health issue according to Healthy People 2030 is Physical Activity.
The objective of Healthy People 2030 is to enhance health, fitness, and well-being via regular
physical activity. Today, only 1 in 4 adults and 1 in 5 adolescents in the U.S. follow the

negative progression (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, n.d.). The topic is
relevant to Warren County, New Jersey, because 24% of adults in this county have been reported
to be physically inactive. As a potential counter solution, a Rural Active Living and Nutrition
Hub program WILL help achieve the Healthy People 2030 Physical Activity goals through
increased physical activity access, removal of barriers in rural settings, and aerobic and muscle
strengthening exercise promotion (Tennessee Department of Health, 2025).

residents from rural areas, with preference given to lower-income families and elderly
