Expected Results of the CHANCE Project
 
a) Action Research on the Community level (local)

CHANCE aims is to establish competencies in valuating advertising as right or wrong by the offer of specific courses. These courses can be offered by local partners of the "BAGSO", "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hauswirtschaft", “Verbraucherzentrale Hessen” and will be specific to the needs of the local community.
People will be made resistant to deceptive food messages by strengthening their competencies.
The local network will be the structural environment to support a good nutrition competence. It needs time to develop community-specific health information and education interventions. These interventions are planned and offered by stakeholders of adult education. As the concrete kinds of interventions depend on the local community’s analysis, the offers will be completely new and quiet specific. The development of those offers, their implementation and their evaluation is an essential part of the project.
By this, participation and motivation of all kind of target groups in a community can be supported. The local networking is supposed to provide a new way of strengthening people, make them feel responsible and competent, sensitise them for health messages and, even by specific interventions, improve their knowledge and competence in handling food and health marketing.

b) The consortium collects the needed data and material for its implementation.

These data relates to the question which structure of a local community promotes good perception or correct perception of health information. Probably, each community of the project will have different problem solving concerning the perception of health information. To make the made conclusion useable, to use them in other communities and to further the implementation of Community Health Management has to be fulfilled in the follow-up of the two years.

c) Long-term outcomes will be the local network on the local community level, two guidelines for the public and a website.

One guideline will explain how to establish a local network. The other one will describe how to initiate a Community Health Management. These guidelines are published to make them useable for other researchers, stakeholders in adult education and members of communities who are interested in the projects results and experiences. As health and health promotion is an actual political and societal topic, the need for such new material is given.
