Health Affairs published a special issue focusing on the childhood obesity epidemic and the local, state and federal policy approaches that could have greatest impact for helping to reverse it.  

The March 2010 publication, which discusses findings from dozens of studies, includes articles from three Healthy Eating Research grantees: Claudia Probart, PhD, RD, Emma Sanchez-Vaznaugh, ScD, MPH and Robert Whitaker, MD, MPH. The issue also features an article written by Nicole Larson, PhD, MPH, RD and Mary Story, PhD, RD, from the Healthy Eating Research national program office.

The 239-page issue, which was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is available online. View the Health Affairs special issue.
