Healthy Communities: What Local Governments Can Do to Reduce and Prevent Obesity (PPT-8.7Mb)
This presentation's intended audience is local government staff (e.g., city managers; council members; county commissioners; urban and transportation planners; redevelopment administrators; zoning officials; local school district staff and public health practitioners) who want to build the case for investing in obesity prevention at the community level.
The "Healthy Communities, Local Government" PowerPoint presentation provides the following:
- The prevalence, disease burden, and economic cost of the U.S. obesity epidemic and how local government is part of the solution.
- Specific examples of what CDC means when we talk about policy and environmental change initiatives to address obesity.
- The advantages and impact of population based approaches to prevent obesity.
- Accompanying notes that can be read by the presenter, or used to guide the conversation about the slides.
In addition, the presentation highlights the development and release of CDC's Recommended Strategies and Measurements to Prevent Obesity in the US and explains the project methodology and how local governments can use the Implementation and Measurement Guide. (PDF-2.6Mb)
