Clinical Interventions to Prevent Childhood Overweight

Together with the Maine Youth Overweight Collaborative and the
Healthy Care for Healthy Kids Collaborative, a partnership between
National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ)
and Blue Cross Blue Shield Massachusetts, our clinical overweight
intervention applies community based research principles in
developing materials for parents and clinical care providers
around television viewing, sugar sweetened beverages
and increased consumption of fruits and vegetables.
