We will serve as a resource for policy-makers, local organizations, and community members on the environment and its impact on health. While we continue to have a particular interest in obesity and the behaviors that lead to it (physical activity and diet), in view of the changed situation, we are broadening our focus to include other health problems influenced by the environment. |
