Moving to the Future is an online resource to help health professionals develop successful nutrition and physical activity programs. The focus is on planning. Program planning resources organize the process into anywhere from three to fourteen steps.
Nutrition and physical activity are included in the examples and many of the program planning forms are tailored to nutrition and physical activity concerns. But, the content teaches people how to develop, implement, and evaluate a plan. Someone could use Moving to the Future to plan a comprehensive program to reduce underage drinking, and in fact, a community did use Moving to the Future to develop a multi-agency, countywide, plan to reduce underage drinking. The information, worksheets, tip sheets, and other resources on this website are the outcome of a project to update and revise Moving to the Future: Developing Community-Based Nutrition Services and Moving to the Future: Developing Community-Based Nutrition Services (Workbook & Training Manual), published in 1996 and 1997 respectively.

To maximize the usefulness of Moving to the Future, we encourage users to modify the worksheets to meet their unique needs. All the worksheets are available in MS Word format, so modifications can be easily done. However, you need to seek copyright permission to modify the worksheets and you need to pay a nominal fee for access to the MS Word files.
To gain access to the MS Word documents, you start by going to the Buy MS Word file on the left menu tab.
Working Professionals If you want to use the Moving to the Future materials and want to make minor modifications to the worksheets you need written copyright permission, and you need to pay for access to the MS Word files.
Faculty, Students, and Interns ASTPHND encourages instructors planning to use some of the content from the worksheets to seek permission and to purchase the MS Word files for themselves. Each student or intern using Moving to the Future for assignments or practical work should pay to use the MS Word files. You do not need to pay for using the PDF files as supplemental teaching material.
Workshop Trainers If you are developing a workshop and want to use Moving to the Future you need written copyright permission. If copyright permission is granted, ASTPHND requires a workshop sponsor to purchase access to MS Word files for each person in the workshop. This way each workshop participant will have their own access to the MS Word files and can use them as needed after the workshop. Bulk purchase discounts are available.
