This report was developed by students in SPH-K553: Physical Activity in Health, SPH-K554: Seminar in Physical Activity & Wellness, SPH-K556: Physical Activity Assessment in Public Health, BIOL-X490: Biology Undergraduate Research, and BIOL-P451: Integrative Human Physiology at Indiana University in collaboration with the City of Mitchell through the 2017–2018 Sustaining Hoosier Communities initiative. The report outlines the “What Moves You Mitchell?” campaign, a community-based public health initiative designed to address high rates of hypertension and physical inactivity in Mitchell, Indiana. The project includes educational materials, a physical activity map, a trail-use survey, and a proposed 12-week pedometer intervention program. Emphasizing a faith-based and community-centered approach, the campaign aims to increase physical activity, improve health outcomes, and foster long-term wellness in the Mitchell community.
