Family Nutrition and Physical ActivitySurvey

Welcome SWITCH Parents,

Thanks for visiting the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Tool website. 

The SWITCH program works through parents to achieve these goals since you have the strongest and most important influence on your child’s behaviors. Adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyles can be challenging enough on your own - but it can be especially challenging to encourage your child to follow these habits. One of the best keys is to create a home environment that makes the healthy choice the easier choice. 

We have partnered with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to provide SWITCH families with access to the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity (FNPA) screening tool. This tool was developed to help parents evaluate their home environment and practices related to healthy living. By completing the FNPA you can learn about what you are doing well and what areas you can improve on. 

There are 20 questions that evaluate different aspects of the home environment and when you complete them you will receive specific information and resources that can help to promote healthy lifestyles in your child. Before completing the assessment, please review the informed consent document (PDF) so that you know how your data will be used and protected. There are no names or personal information collected so your confidentiality is ensured.
