Farmers markets. Community gardens. Nutrition and exercise classes. Will they make people healthier over time in vulnerable areas like Metropolitan and South Los Angeles, where nearly 1 in 3 adults is obese and more than 1 in 3 is overweight? In this seminar, Center Researchers Susan Babey and Xiao Chen will discuss their evaluation of various obesity prevention programs implemented by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The report will be released at a later date. Locally, the initiative brings together a broad range of community partners to implement comprehensive nutrition education and obesity prevention strategies where people live, learn, work, play, pray and shop. Using a predictive model, the team will discuss what the likely long-term effect of these programs may be on LA's residents.
