In 2006, approximately 37 percent of Delaware's children were overweight or obese. To combat Delaware's childhood obesity epidemic, Nemours, a leading child health care provider, launched a statewide program to improve child health. The "social-ecological" strategy reaches beyond clinical encounters to promote better health and behavior at multiple levels. Early results show that the initiative halted the increase in the prevalence of overweight and obese children, since no statistically significant change occurred during the two-year span between administrations of the Delaware Survey on Children's Health. The initiative also spurred increased knowledge of healthy eating and awareness of the need for increased physical activity in school, child care, and primary care settings.
2006 年，特拉华州约有 37%的儿童超重或肥胖。为了应对特拉华州的儿童肥胖症流行，领先的儿童保健机构 Nemours 启动了一项全州范围的计划，以改善儿童健康。这种“社会生态”策略不仅限于临床接触，而是在多个层面上促进更好的健康和行为。早期结果表明，该倡议阻止了超重和肥胖儿童比例的增加，因为在两次进行特拉华州儿童健康调查之间的两年期间，没有出现统计学上显著的变化。该倡议还促使人们更加了解健康饮食，并认识到在学校、儿童保育和初级保健环境中增加身体活动的必要性。
