Childhood obesity is a complex public health issue that requires community and environmental factors be addressed. Efforts to combat childhood obesity must be multifaceted and include community-based partnerships.
The objective of this paper is to describe a partnership between a county health department and a local school district to address childhood obesity.
As part of a formal School Wellness Partnership, a nutrition and physical activity program was designed to meet the needs of a school community. The program included parent and teacher education, school-wide messaging and take-home activities.
The partnership generated positive program outcomes, including increased teacher knowledge and confidence and parental knowledge regarding healthy childhood behaviors. Lessons learned included the importance of resource sharing and building a stronger program with mutual partner benefits.
Community partnerships can lead to expanding health outreach and building community capacity to promote health through collaborative program development efforts.
儿童肥胖是一个复杂的公共卫生问题，需要解决社区和环境因素。对抗儿童肥胖的努力必须是多方面的，包括基于社区的伙伴关系。
本文的目的是描述一个县卫生部门与当地学区之间为解决儿童肥胖问题而建立的伙伴关系。
作为正式的学校健康伙伴关系的一部分，设计了一项营养和体育活动计划，以满足学校社区的需求。该计划包括家长和教师教育、全校宣传信息以及家庭活动。
该伙伴关系产生了积极的项目成果，包括提高了教师关于健康儿童行为的知识和信心以及家长的相关知识。吸取的经验教训包括资源共享以及建立一个对伙伴双方都更有益的更强有力项目的重要性。
社区伙伴关系能够通过合作开展项目来扩大健康宣传范围并增强社区促进健康的能力。
