Description
Planning committees of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a series of public workshops featuring invited presentations and discussions to explore gaps in knowledge within the foundational drivers of obesity (i.e., health communication, structural racism, and biased mental models and social norms), future research in evidence-based solutions, and potential ways to translate current evidence to facilitate action. Drawing from diverse examples across public health, the workshop presentations may explore potential ways to translate knowledge into practice and address evidence gaps. In addition, presentations may also explore potential agents of change and solutions-oriented actions. Consideration will be given to accountability and ways to assess progress toward obesity solutions.
The planning committee will organize the workshops, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings-in-brief of the discussions for each workshop in the series and a proceedings summarizing all presentations will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
