Policy, Systems, and Built Environment 

The physical environment of neighborhoods influences patterns of life that in turn influence residents’ physical activity levels and healthy food consumption. Policy, systems, and environmental changes (PSE) are strategic and deliberate ways of addressing public health issues to ensure that healthy choices are practical, available, and accessible.
