Share On Social!

Salud America! has released six Spanish-language research briefs, infographics and animated videos that shed light on the causes of and solutions to Latino childhood obesity.

The Spanish materials, which were released in English in late 2013, explore new research into how six critical topics—marketing, school snacks, sugary drinks, neighborhood food, and access to active play and spaces—impact Latino child health.

The materials also feature evidence-based recommendations on how to address the issues among Latino children.
