The goal of this course is to present a systems approach to obesity prevention - i.e. understanding the complex task of trying to change the way people eat, move, and live, and sustaining those changes over time. Students will learn causes and correlates of diet, physical activity, and obesity, data and methods related to assessment of obesity, the health and financial consequences of the obesity epidemic, and will gain insights into obesity prevention, treatment and policy approaches. Students will read peer-reviewed publications on obesity, participate in class discussion and debates, and engage in experiential activities that will reinforce learning.
