New DVDs Help Prevent Obesity in Children

To fill information gap between patients and providers, a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Discovery/FitTV created an interactive educational DVD on childhood obesity. The version for kids and families will help promote healthy lifestyles through fun, family-focused and age-appropriate information about physical activity and nutrition.

An expanded version for clinicians includes information on utilizing the materials with patients and a continuing medical education (CME) component. For more information about the program, contact Dr. John Whyte, Medical Advisor and Director, Secretary's Council on Private Sector Initiatives, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, at 301- 427-1487 or jwhyte@ahrq.gov.
