To achieve their goals, accelerate their progress, and sustain their success, the assistance of many other individuals and groups--not all of them with a singular focus on obesity prevention--will be essential. In October 2011 the Institute of Medicine held a workshop that provided an opportunity for obesity prevention groups to hear from and hold discussions with many of these potential allies in obesity prevention. They explored common ground for joint activities and mutual successes and lessons learned from efforts at aligning diverse groups with goals in common.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/13305/alliances-for-obesity-prevention-finding-common-ground-workshop-summary", year = 2012, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" } @BOOK{NAP author = "National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine", editor = "Steve Olson", title = "Driving Action and Progress on Obesity Prevention and Treatment: Proceedings of a Workshop", isbn = "978-0-309-45743-9", abstract = "After decades of increases in the obesity rate among U.S. adults and children, the rate recently has dropped among some populations, particularly young children.

The workshop brought together leaders from business, early care and education, government, health care, and philanthropy to discuss the most promising approaches for the future of obesity prevention and treatment.
