Childhood obesity

This report highlights the accomplishments of the Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities (HKHC) community partnerships at the midpoint of the grant program. HKHC works with communities across the country to help reshape environments through policy and environmental change strategies that support healthy living and prevent childhood obesity. The built environment can help or hinder community access for people to engage in healthy behaviors and HKHC places special emphasis on communities with children who are at highest risk of obesity on the basis of income, race/ethnicity and geographic location. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) from 2008-2014, the national program office (NPO) administers HKHC and provides tailored coaching and technical assistance to the 49 HKHC community partnerships.
