Overview– Funded by a $6.25 million grant from the
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention– Involve families, pediatricians, schools, and
local youth organizations to develop community capacity for early detection and effective management of obesity using evidence-based programs such as:
• Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) program: Preschool, Elementary, Middle School
• Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It! (MEND) Program
Goals – Develop, implement and evaluate an
integrated, systems-oriented approach to obesity prevention & weight management for underserved, ethnically diverse children ages 2-12 in Austin & Houston
– Eventually integrate models of obesity prevention within primary health programs & schools around the United States by September 2015
• Partners: UTSPH, Baylor College of Medicine, TX Dept. of State Health Services, Univ. of Nebraska Medical Center, Seton Healthcare System, Duke University, Singapore
