Wednesday, November 2, 2011: 12:30 PM
Oral
Increasingly, youth are seen as important change agents in communities and families. In addition, youth in the United States often have poor eating habits which are often carried into adulthood. This session will highlight various school-based, afterschool-based and community-based interventions to promote healthy diet in youth and empowering youth to act as advocates for health in the families and communities. Addressing the important issues of stress and body image perception will also be discussed.
Session Objectives: 1) List the components of the two youth nutrition interventions and provide examples of criteria to assess these components. 2) Describe how school- and afterschool-based programs can be used to address poor diet and childhood obesity more generally.
