How Projections of the Future of Obesity Can Inform Decision-Making
Thursday, February 25 from 2:00pm – 2:50pm Eastern
Speaker: Dr. Zach Ward of the CHOICES Team
The goals for this session are:
- For participants to understand how Dr. Ward and other CHOICES colleagues used the CHOICES model to predict the future rates of child and adult obesity in the U.S.
- For participants to understand how public health practitioners and their partners can use this information for action
For those who have not attended a coffee chat before, in the context of the CHOICES Community of Practice, our coffee chats are informal yet structured conversations. It’s a unique opportunity to gather ideas, innovate together, network, and hear personal stories.
