Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development and progression of obesity is a multifaceted issue with a varied etiology. As such, management, mitigation, and prevention of obesity requires a comprehensive approach involving multiple sectors of society. This Special Issue will therefore focus on the development and management of health as pertains to the interplay of policies, systems, and environments that either mitigate or contribute to overall health. The focus of this Issue is to highlight social and food justice, the built environment, and progressive policies and programs that emphasize community and/or public health, entitlement programs, and other social safety nets. Submissions can include any targeted demographic group across the lifespan.
Dr. Rachel E. Scherr
