Although the California Department of Public Health has been delivering nutrition education for nearly two decades, the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) resources to advance policy, systems, and environmental change interventions (PSEs) to prevent obesity has been relatively recent. To date, most efforts to couple PSEs to conventional nutrition education have not been well-studied and as such, their lessons have not been used extensively in local planning. This special issue seeks to close this gap by sharing lessons from the planning and implementation of these efforts in Los Angeles County during the 2013-2016 SNAP-Ed funding cycle. It comprises a collection of six articles that recount key experiences from this work in the field.
尽管加利福尼亚州公共卫生部开展营养教育已近二十年，但利用补充营养援助计划教育（SNAP-Ed）资源推进政策、系统和环境变革干预措施（PSEs）以预防肥胖相对较新。迄今为止，将PSEs与传统营养教育相结合的大多数努力尚未得到充分研究，因此，其经验教训在地方规划中并未得到广泛应用。本期特刊旨在通过分享2013 - 2016年SNAP-Ed资助周期内在洛杉矶县开展这些工作的规划和实施经验教训来填补这一空白。它由六篇文章组成，讲述了该领域这项工作的关键经验。
