Childhood Obesity Prevention in Texas summarizes the information
gathered at a workshop held February 5-6, 2009, in Austin, Texas.
At this workshop, committee members met with Texas lawmakers,
public officials, and community leaders to exchange ideas and to
view first-hand strategies that are being implemented effectively
at the state and local levels to prevent and reverse childhood
obesity. Texas leaders at the workshop expressed the strong belief
that the state's economic vitality and security depend on the
health of its population. Accordingly, the state is no longer
simply describing the personal, community, and financial costs of
its obesity crisis; it is taking proactive steps to address the
problem through strategic initiatives. An overarching strategy is
to address obesity by targeting the state's youth, in whom it may
be possible to instill healthy behaviors and lifestyles to last a
lifetime. A guiding principle of these efforts is that they should
be evidence based, community specific, sustainable, cost-effective,
and supported by effective partnerships. Moreover, the goal is for
the responsibility to be broadly shared by individuals, families,
communities, and the public and private sectors. Table of Contents
