Healthy Habits. Healthy Life.
The 5-2-1-0 Initiative
The 5-2-1-0 Action Team put our mission into action as we worked to adapt the 5-2-1-0 materials from Lets Go! Our goal was to develop community-specific tools and resources aimed at increasing the healthy habits of children in Dane County. This initiative uses the 5-2-1-0 framework to systematically change the conversations in the doctor’s office and schools from a focus on weight management to inspiring healthy habits.
Tools & Resources
With our partners, we heard from the community and adapted the 5-2-1-0 messages to create these tools for you to use. Take a look below to find great resources such as videos, fact sheets, posters, a 5-2-1-0 school challenge and even water bottles and signs to borrow or purchase.
Thank you to our 5-2-1-0 Action Team for your time and a very special thanks to our UW-Health Interpreter Services Team for translating our materials into Spanish. This project was made possible through support from the Wisconsin Partnership Program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

When considering children with complex health issues, Wisconsin experts also identified several COVID-19 mitigation strategies outlined by the Centers for Disease Control :​
​
-
Promoting vaccination for all eligible students, families and school staff
-
Encouraging consistent and correct mask use, particularly when indoors
-
Facilitating/practicing cleaning and disinfecting practices, physical distancing, adequate ventilation, handwashing and respiratory etiquette
-
Participating in screening, contact tracing, isolation and quarantine as indicated
-
Staying home when sick and getting tested

Materials for Schools
A 5-2-1-0 Challenge can be a fun way to inspire healthy habits in your students. Take a look at these resources and consider hosting a Challenge at your school. Interested in taking it a step further? The Alliance for a Healthier Generation Assessment is a great resource for big and small changes you can make in your school to make the healthy choice the easy choice. We’ve developed some communication tools you can use to get stakeholders on board.
Materials for Clinics
In addition to the fact sheets and poster, we have a screening tool to be used to guide conversations around healthy eating and active living. Please also consider becoming a part of the Pediatric Obesity Learning Community which is a forum for health professionals concerned about pediatric obesity prevention, management and treatment.
