Childhood Obesity:
A Food and Nutrition Resource List for Educators
and Researchers
September 2004
This publication is a collection
of resources on the topic of childhood obesity for educators and researchers. It
is comprised of articles from professional journals (published 2000 to present),
information available on the World Wide Web, consumer educational materials and
contact information of related organizations. Items with a public health
emphasis have been selected for this list. While there is extensive literature
on the clinical aspects of pediatric obesity, it is not the goal of this
publication to cover it.
Materials available from the National
Agricultural Library (NAL) collection include a call number. Lending and copy
service information is provided at the end of this document. If you are not
eligible for direct borrowing privileges, check with your local library on how
to borrow through interlibrary loan. Materials cannot be purchased from NAL.
Contact information is provided for the publisher/producer if you wish to
purchase any materials on this list.
This Resource List is available from
the Food and Nutrition Information Center’s (FNIC) Web site at http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/pubs_and_db.html.
