Ounce of Prevention
Designed for infancy through 6 years of age, the Ounce of Prevention informational kit provides parent handouts, a physician guide and posters to help prevent obesity through the first 12 well-child visits.
Addressing the growing epidemic of obesity is top priority for many health care providers. Physicians who regularly monitor growth and provide anticipatory guidance related to parenting, eating, and physical activity can perform an important intervention in a child’s life.
Ounce of Prevention is a collaboration of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Ohio Chapter; Ohio Department of Health; Ohio Dietetic Association; Nationwide Children’s Hospital; Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition; and American Dairy Association Mideast.
