Statement of Task
A
n ad hoc committee will plan a 1-day, interactive public workshop
exploring issues related to developing innovative partnerships to
maximize resources, accelerate progress, and sustain efforts toward
obesity prevention. The workshop will feature invited presentations and
discussions that will focus on potential collaboration with other sectors that
have goals akin to or complementary with those of the obesity prevention
sector and thus may be partners for obesity prevention efforts. The work-
shop may include exploration of efforts in the educational, environmental,
economic, national security, food security, and anti-violence sectors.
Workshop presentations and discussions from researchers, policy mak-
ers, and advocates will explore such topics as:
1. Identification of sectors and existing social movements that have
goals similar to or complementary with those of obesity preven-
tion, including how best to engender dialogue and indentify com-
mon ground among sectors.
2. Ideas for initiatives and messages that can be mutually beneficial
to achieving the goals of all parties.
3. Learning from other public health initiatives that have benefited
from partnering with existing social movements to maximize
resources and accelerate progress.
4. The potential benefits and challenges involved with engaging in
cross-sector, interdisciplinary partnerships for obesity prevention.
The committee will plan and organize the workshop, select and invite
speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions.
