How can local public health agencies help prevent obesity?
Local public health agencies are most suited to developing community partnerships with schools, health care providers and community groups to ensure that exercise and healthy eating classes are being offered, schools and restaurants are offering low-fat and healthy choices, and to ensure the development of walking trails and bike paths for the entire community. Many local public health agencies have also become involved through policy development. The National Association of County and City Health Officials provides examples of some of these activities.
