Down Home Healthy Living is an educational intervention aimed at decreasing colorectal cancer risk through diet, physical activity, and awareness of cancer early detection. As an outgrowth of the NBLIC Philadelphia Coalition 5-A-Day Produce Stands, NBLIC II launched the Down Home Healthy Living Best Practice to assist African Americans around the country in getting back to the basics of good health. The program consists of three components delivered together (via videotape) or as individual modules (through slide presentations):

• Get With It! Diet, Nutrition & Cooking Demonstrations
  
  
• Get Down! Physical Activity with Audience Participation
  
  
• Get Smart! Colorectal Cancer Awareness with Health Care Provider

Participants receive logo produce bags filled with a cookbook, fan, pamphlets, shopping guides, as well as fruits and vegetables.
