Product Description:

Is your health agency interested in preventing chronic disease? There is growing evidence that nutrition and growth in early lifeÂduring pregnancy, infancy and childhoodÂhas an impact on chronic disease in adulthood. When state and local public health departments take steps to ensure the nutritional health of mothers and children they invest in the future health of the communities they serve. This module, based on a life course framework, is designed to help public health leaders describe the role of maternal and child nutrition in population health and identify actions they can take to create equitable access to healthy foods and food environments. By the end of the module you will be able to use the life course framework to design effective nutrition initiatives to improve population health.
