m-NEAT helps DoD communities measure accessibility to healthy food options. m-NEAT appraisals assess environmental factors and policies at the community level that support healthy eating. The tool was developed to help health promotion professionals, commanding officers, and others in the DoD community measure accessibility to healthy food options.
All mNEAT information can be found on: https://www.hprc-online.org/nutrition/mne

The m-NEAT Appraisal can help:
Environmental factors that affect eating behaviors are numerous, but there has been limited work done on the subject. Some demographic variables that impact nutrition related health issues such as age, ethnicity or sex cannot be changed; but factors such as dietary intake, sedentary lifestyle and the nutritional environment can be modified. Examples of nutrition environmental changes include increasing the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables at worksites, galleys and food courts; working with NEXCOM and AAFES food courts and contracted food services to provide menu recipe analyses; encouraging command worksites to provide formal policies so that healthy snacks are provided at meetings; increasing media promotion of healthy foods; or modifying other food service environments to provide a greater number of options that are healthier. The changes listed are not exhaustive of those that can be implemented, but provide examples of the way the environment influences eating behavior.
Clinical guidance, including recognition, management and clinical isolation guidance are generally covered by CDC: CDC Clinical Overview
Clinical management for Fleet medical personnel can be found in the NMCFHPC Fleet Mpox Medical Guidance
Clinical guidance for MTFs can be found in the DHA Mpox Guidance Update_5Sept2024
Currently, neither mpox testing nor treatment are readily available in a forward deployed operational setting. Units should identify suspected cases, isolate them, and move them for care at an MTF when operationally feasible.
