Peer Reviewed: Surveillance of Obesity-Related Policies in Multiple Environments: The Missouri Obesity Nutrition and Activity Policy Database 2007-2009

摘要

IntroductionThe objective of this study was to develop the Missouri Obesity, Nutrition, and Activity Policy Database, a geographically representative baseline of Missouri's existing obesity-related local policies on healthy eating and physical activity. The database is organized to reflect 7 local environments (government, community, health care, worksite, school, after school, and child care) and to describe the prevalence of obesity-related policies in these environments.
