The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has initiated a new effort to address childhood obesity through a research project focusing on doctors, families, and communities helping children make healthy choices.
In this initiative, funding made available through the Affordable Care Act will support a four year Childhood Obesity Demonstration Project. Supported by $25 million in funding awards, the project is designed to build on existing community efforts and work to identify effective health care and community strategies to support children’s healthy eating and active living and help combat childhood obesity.
