PSE Site Activities

Track Policy, Systems, and Environmental change efforts at sites, including readiness, strategy, changes adopted, effectiveness, recognition, and sustainability.

PSE (Policy, Systems & Environmental) Site Activities allow you to document and manage PSE change efforts taking place at specific sites. These activities capture the full lifecycle of a PSE initiative — from initial readiness assessment through strategy development, changes adopted, effectiveness measurement, recognition received, and long-term sustainability planning.

PSE changes are modifications to the environments where people live, work, learn, and play that make healthy choices easier and more accessible. Tracking these efforts in PEARS provides a comprehensive record of the scope, reach, and impact of your PSE work.
