Introduced in 2007, the Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound toolkit was developed to address the growing epidemic of childhood obesity. The goal was to provide primary care providers with simple tools to educate parents in obesity prevention strategies by making good nutritional and physical activity decisions for their children.
Through the Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics, with funding from the Ohio Department of Ohio, this website is designed to provide information and interactive resources for health care providers, parents, and children/teenagers.
