| Abstract | This Education Policy Brief examines the latest research and statistics regarding childhood obesity. In addition to providing an overview of current trends and effects of childhood obesity, this brief considers the reasons for the increase in obesity rates among children, as well as the latest federal and state initiatives created to combat childhood obesity. In particular, the brief highlights the significance of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, the "Let's Move" campaign, and recent soda tax initiatives. The brief also considers local policies addressing obesity, providing a summary of 41 wellness policies collected from school districts throughout Indiana. Finally, the authors offer conclusions and recommendations to schools and education leaders, policymakers, and parents about how to curb the obesity epidemic. (Contains 3 figures, 2 tables and 8 web resources.) (ERIC). |
