Did You Know: NCCOR’s Measures Registry can enhance your grant proposal?

April 2019, NCCOR

 

Are you working on an upcoming grant proposal? Consider using NCCOR’s Measures Registry to strengthen your proposal. The Measures Registry is a searchable database of diet and physical activity measures relevant to childhood obesity research. Its purpose is to standardize the use of common measures and research methods across childhood obesity research at the individual, community, and population levels. The Measures Registry also has filters that can help you reach your intended population and highlights the psychometric properties of each measure including reliability and validity.

The Cost-Effectiveness of Interventions for Reducing Obesity among Young Children through Healthy-Eating, Physical Activity, and Screen Time

This brief compiles research conducted by the Childhood Obesity Intervention Cost-Effectiveness Study (CHOICES) on interventions that impact young children. It provides an overview of the goals of cost-effectiveness analysis, the evidence thus far on the cost-effectiveness of different strategies to prevent obesity in the places where very young children (0- to 5-year-olds) live, learn, and play, and the evidence that is still needed for informed decision-making. Read More

Behavioral research agenda in a multietiological approach to child obesity prevention

Serious limitations have been found in the simple energy balance model (energy in–energy out) as the single or primary biological strategy for virtually all child obesity prevention interventions. Experts have criticized it for not reflecting the likely multifactorial nature of obesity. A substantial number of other possible, even likely, causes of obesity have been identified. Read More
