Addressing the growing epidemic of obesity is top priority for many healthcare providers.
Physicians who regularly monitor growth and provide anticipatory guidance related
to parenting, eating and physical activity can perform an important intervention
in a child's life.
To help you, the Ounce of Prevention tool kit includes parent handouts, physician
charts and office posters to help you communicate simple nutrition and activity
messages through the first 15 well-child visits.
Ounce of Prevention is a collaboration of Healthy Ohioans, the American Academy
of Pediatrics, Ohio; Ohio Department of Health; Ohio Dietetic Association; Children's
Hospital; Borden's Center for Nutrition & Wellness and the American Dairy Association
Mideast.
