Product Description
Product Description
The obesity epidemic poses major challenges for policy makers, public health professionals, and other decision makers who need to act decisively to respond to this widespread health problem. There is an urgent need for useful evidence about potential policy and programmatic solutions to the obesity epidemic. To inform their decisions, policymakers need relevant and useful evidence on promising obesity prevention actions for the populations they serve. Bridging the Evidence Gap in Obesity Prevention identifies a new approach to decision-making and research on obesity prevention which uses a systems perspective to gain a broader understanding of obesity as a complex, population-based health problem, and the many factors that influence it. Decision makers, the intermediaries who assist them in making decisions, and researchers working on obesity prevention are the primary audiences for communicating and disseminating this framework. If they are able to collect and use the best available evidence and continue to generate additional useful evidence, these decision makers will be armed with the most appropriate and relevant knowledge to help turn around this overwhelming health crisis.
