that contribute to obesity and overweight include eating away from home, large portion sizes, and diets low in fruits and vegetables (Affenito et al., 2012). However, it\u2019s also important to note that rural communities have higher rates of obesity than urban communities (CDC, 2018) largely due to limited access to healthy and affordable food, lack of physical activity opportunities (parks, sidewalks, bike trails, etc.), and lack of nutrition education (Rural Health Information Hub, 2020). Programs that focus on multiple levels of the socio-ecological model are more effective than solely targeting the individual behavior (McKenzie et al., 2017).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-34d3d29 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"34d3d29\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6126019\" data-id=\"6126019\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c11a389 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c11a389\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ca613d5\" data-id=\"ca613d5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e189e3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e189e3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center;line-height:200%\"><b><span style=\",serif\">References<\/span><\/b><span style=\",serif\"><\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in\"><span style=\",serif\">Affenito, S.
