Over the past two decades, childhood obesity has been recognized as an increasing health problem with stark disparities by race, ethnicity, and zip code. A single-level intervention that focuses on individual choices has limited success especially in under-resourced communities. The "Getting to Equity" model provides a framework for building interventions that incorporate multilevel strategies. We applied this model to an elementary school-based obesity prevention program. By applying the "Getting to Equity" framework, we demonstrate how a school-based program aligns with the quadrants within the framework to holistically address childhood obesity. By applying this model to an elementary school-based obesity prevention program, we demonstrate how program leaders can address childhood obesity while advancing health equity.
在过去二十年里，儿童肥胖已被公认为一个日益严重的健康问题，在种族、族裔和邮政编码方面存在明显差异。专注于个人选择的单一层面干预取得的成功有限，尤其是在资源匮乏的社区。“实现公平”模式提供了一个构建包含多层次策略的干预措施的框架。我们将此模式应用于一个以小学为基础的肥胖预防项目。通过应用“实现公平”框架，我们展示了一个以学校为基础的项目如何与框架内的象限相契合，以全面解决儿童肥胖问题。通过将此模式应用于一个以小学为基础的肥胖预防项目，我们展示了项目负责人如何在促进健康公平的同时解决儿童肥胖问题。
