| In the last 30 years overweight children have nearly tripled and over 17% are classified as obese. Overweight children are 70% more likely to become overweight adults. This trend has led to an increase in heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes in adolescents. Coordinated School Health Programs (CSHP) have been found to be effective in addressing overweight and risk for overweight in children. This section will examine various CSHP’s and the lessons learned in regards to their adoption and implementation. | ||||
| Learning Objectives: At the end of the session, the participant will be able to: (1) Identify partners for collaboration to address students' needs; (2) Discuss strategies to facilitate community involvement in Coordinated School Health; (3) Describe strategies to shape school environment and policy that support a healthy school environment to prevent childhood obesity; (4) Summarize student characteristics associated with engaging in potentially unhealthy weight control behaviors. | ||||
