The Prevention 1st Challenge offers a unique set of tools to counties, businesses, and individuals to improve health. Prevention Audits and Prevention Report Cards allow participants to see how well their policies and environments support healthful eating, physical activity, and tobacco-free lifestyles.

Central to the Challenge is that individual health is, in large part, shaped by where we work, where we play, and where we live. Policies and environments in these places affect our behaviors, and ultimately our health. For example:

  • Tobacco-free workplaces encourage tobacco users to quit
  • Living in a home where healthy foods are available increases the likelihood that healthy foods are eaten.

    • In addition, the Challenge helps participants to learn more about changes they can make to better support good health.



    The Prevention 1st Challenge invites YOU—whether you’re a county health leader, employer, or individual—to get started today and put prevention first!


    Let's rise to the Challenge and put prevention first!
