for additional interventions (beyond the<br />

current level of CDBI service). The<br />

other theme suggested that a big part of<br />

the problem stemmed from the lack of<br />

parenting skills to effectively address<br />

those behaviors at home.<br />

• Transportation and access to services<br />

for people in the outlying communities<br />

and even within the Yuba City limits<br />

were issues that were universally<br />

recognized across the groups but there<br />

were no follow-up suggestions for<br />

improvement.<br />

• Safety and security were also on the<br />

minds on several of the participants as<br />

they expressed concerns for their<br />

children to be safe in their own<br />

neighborhoods.<br />

• Media Influence: There was also some<br />

concern around the passive nature of<br />

children’s entertainment particularly<br />

television and video games and that<br />

these diversions do little to stimulate<br />

imagination and physical activity.<br />

• Workplace Issues: There were also<br />

suggestions to contact and provide<br />

information to employers to make<br />

workplaces more family-friendly.
