Childhood obesity, not just a phase

The current issue of The Future of Children examines the reality of the increasing rates of childhood obesity and the policies and programs attempting to address it and the associated concerns. Areas of analysis include: possible trends, causes, consequences, and related health problems; the home, school and market environments of the nation's children, and attending regulating policies; and specific vulnerable population groups.

The Future of Children is supported by centers within Princeton University and The Brookings Institution, providing research in the fields of health, education and public affairs.
