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."--Publisher's website. 606 $aObesity in children$zTexas$xPrevention$vCongresses 606 $aObesity in adolescence$zTexas$xPrevention$vCongresses 615 0$aObesity in children$xPrevention 615 0$aObesity in adolescence$xPrevention 676 $a618.92 701 $aBurns$b Annina Catherine$01599576 701 $aNyberg$b Kara$g(Kara A.)$01647437 701 $aParker$b Lynn$01599575 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bFood and Nutrition Board. 712 12$aWorkshop on Childhood Obesity Prevention in Texas$f(2009 :$eAustin, Tex.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815005003321 996 $aChildhood obesity prevention in Texas$93994969 997 $aUNINA
