First Responders: Youth Addressing Childhood Obesity Through Service-Learning

The primary audiences of this module are classroom teachers, service-learning coordinators, students in the health professions, and staff in community and youth development organizations who are seeking to engage middle and high school-age-youth as "first responders" to the critical American issue of childhood obesity. The module uses service-learning to move beyond the textbook, explore real world issues, and address systemic factors that contribute to childhood obesity.
