Childhood obesity is a major threat to individual health and society overall. Policies that support healthier food and beverage choices have been endorsed by many decision makers. These policies may reach a large proportion of the population or in some circumstances aim to reduce nutrition disparities to ensure health equity. The Nutrition and Obesity Policy Research and Evaluation Network (NOPREN) evaluates policy as a tool to improve food and beverage environments where Americans live, work, play, and learn. The network aspires to address research and evaluation gaps related to relevant policies, create standardized research tools, and help build the evidence base of effective policy solutions for childhood obesity prevention with a focus on reach, equity, cost effectiveness, and sustainability.
儿童肥胖是个人健康和整个社会的主要威胁。许多决策者都支持支持更健康的食品和饮料选择的政策。这些政策可能会覆盖很大一部分人群，或者在某些情况下旨在减少营养差距，以确保健康公平。营养与肥胖政策研究与评估网络（NOPREN）将政策评估作为改善美国人生活、工作、娱乐和学习的食物和饮料环境的一种手段。该网络旨在解决与相关政策相关的研究和评估差距，创建标准化的研究工具，并帮助建立有效的儿童肥胖预防政策解决方案的证据基础，重点是覆盖范围、公平性、成本效益和可持续性。
