The ‘Institute for Healthy Childhood Weight’, established by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), will produce clear, accessible resources for health professionals, communities and parents, based on government policies and scientific evidence.
Nestlé is the founding sponsor of the institute, which will also be funded and supported by a range of government and other sources.
The programme, launched earlier this year, offers evidence-based resources to enable parents to make healthy choices for their children.
These include interactive education features, quizzes and tips, which can be found on the AAP’s website. They are based on research that showed parents of young children preferred to receive information about nutrition and exercise in a simple, online format.
