Childhood Obesity Research Across Borders: The Physical Environment

This series is based on the May 2021 special issue Childhood Obesity Prevention Across Borders: The Promise of US-Latin American Research Collaboration published in Obesity Review. The series explores nine cross-cutting themes and articulates a shared research agenda to address childhood obesity prevention in Latin America and among Latino populations in the United States. 

On July 20, from 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET , join us for our second webinar, “Childhood Obesity Research Across Borders: The Physical Environment.” This webinar will focus on understanding how the physical and food environments impact childhood obesity and will identify opportunities for cross border learning. Hear from guest editors and authors of the supplement:
