Area of Research:
Ms. Tenney is conducting a qualitative study of the Colorado on the Move™ program pilot sites around the state. She will be facilitating
focus groups and key informant interviews with participants and coordinators
from worksites and community-based agencies that have agreed to participate
in the 14-week pilot study. These qualitative findings will assist Colorado on the Move™ in working with organizations and communities that want
to initiate and sustain a "step culture" in their own locations.
Educational/Professional Background:
Martha Tenney is the qualitative research/evaluator for the Colorado on the Move™ program. With a 13-year background in health behavior
and education, Martha has primarily worked in the areas of chronic disease
prevention and early detection, program-planning, and qualitative research/evaluation
at the community and organizational level. Her background includes work
with several diverse communities in Colorado and nationally. She believes
that positive health change happens most effectively when community
members are involved in the process. Learning from individuals, communities,
and worksites involved in Colorado on the Move™ will help others become
more physically active in the settings most familiar to them and within
their chosen lifestyle. Martha has a BA from Oberlin College and a MPH
from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received the
1997 Colorado Public Health Association Health Education Section Award
for Excellence in Public Health Education.
