Area of Science:

Public Health
Community Health Education
Chronic Disease Prevention

Background:

Chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions are significant public health challenges in Texas.
The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service translates research into community-level practice through educational programs.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the design and delivery of the HealthTalk Express program, an AgriLife Extension initiative.
To encourage healthy eating and active living for chronic disease prevention.

Main Methods:

The HealthTalk Express program offers 12 short, science-based modules on various health topics.
Innovative evaluation methods facilitate streamlined data collection and real-time reporting.
The program is delivered by Extension Agents and can be facilitated by Master Wellness Volunteers.

Main Results:

As of June 2025, the program reached over 2,000 adults in 43 Texas counties.
Participants showed significant improvements in knowledge ( +1.1 on a 5-point scale) and strong intentions to adopt healthier behaviors (average score = 4.3 on a 5-point scale).
The program facilitates strategic partnerships with local organizations and serves as a gateway for future programming.

Conclusions:

HealthTalk Express is a promising and scalable model for chronic disease prevention within the Cooperative Extension system.
The program effectively expands reach through trained volunteers and fosters community partnerships.
Its design supports behavior change and enhances public health initiatives.
