VIEW LARGER COVER

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Roundtable on Obesity Solutions convened a virtual public workshop series to examine foundational drivers of obesity and discuss sustainable systems-wide changes that use three priority areas - biased mental models/social norms, structural racism, and health communication - to inform actionable priorities for individuals, organizations, and policy makers to reduce both the incidence and prevalence of obesity.

The final workshop of the series, Systems and Obesity: Advances and Innovations for Equitable Health and Well-Being, was held on October 28-29, 2021. Workshop sessions explored ways to use data for systems change; how systems applications can address structural barriers to obesity; using policy for obesity solutions and nutrition security; and engaging multiple sectors for systems change. The workshop also included a session that examined patient-provider communication about obesity treatment and offered solutions to improve those communications. This Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief highlights the presentations and discussions that occurred at the workshop.
