| The growing obesity epidemic has fueled research and evidenced-based evaluation of environmental approaches to improving nutrition and physical activity. Environmental approaches based in communities and neighborhoods of New Orleans will be explored through five papers that describe interventions through schools, farmers' markets, neighborhood grocery stores, and the mass media. Not only do these initiatives identify approaches to improving nutrition and physical activity but further strive to improve the overall living environments so that neighborhoods are safe for children. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. At the completion of this session, participants will be able to describe interventions for nutrition and physical activity through a variety of venues such as schools, farmers' markets, grocery stores, and mass media 2. At the completion of this session, participants will be able to describe an approach to healthy neighborhood environments | |||
