Fighting Latino childhood obesity with prevention research

Today, nearly one-third of U.S. children and teens are overweight or obese – and Latino children are among those at greatest risk for obesity and its related health problems.

Salud America! The RWJF Research Network to Prevent Obesity Among Latino Children is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that aims to unite and increase the number of Latino scientists seeking environmental and policy solutions to address Latino childhood obesity.
