A set of Best Practice Principles have been developed to guide practitioners in the development, delivery and evaluation of community-based obesity prevention initiatives or those funding such initiatives. The principles identify a range of tools and resources that will assist in their implementation.
The Best Practice Principles will remain open for feedback and further development. The CO-OPS Collaboration intends that the principles will be an evolving document, responding to changing trends, attitudes and research.
Focus
While written for programs that aim to prevent unhealthy weight gain at population level, these 'obesity prevention' principles may be applicable to a wider range of nutrition, physical activity and chronic disease prevention projects.
