Nutrition and Physical Activity in Child Care Results from an Environmental Intervention

Abstract

BACKGROUND: With evidence of increased levels of obesity in younger children, the child-care setting is an important intervention target. Few environmental interventions exist, and none target both diet and physical activity. The Nutrition and Physical Activity Self-Assessment for Child Care (NAP SACC) intervention was developed to fill this research and practice gap. DESIGN: Randomized controlled.
