CHILDHOOD OBESITY
Community Youth Inter Alia is managing a "no child left behind" health program on childhood obesity. Increase childhood obesity rates in the past decades, together with the associated health problems and costs, is a call for concern among health care professionals, policy experts, children's advocates, and parents. These problems are noticeable at all ages of child development.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) addresses obesity not only as a disease per se but also an emotional and psychological problem. CYI in its annual project report on research on Childhood Obesity reveals that one out of every 4 kids in the USA are developing signs of obesity. \

Statistics on body/mass indices indicates a net increase in average weight for children born from the 90s and up. Signs of obesity are detected between the ages of 5-10 years. This abnormality results directly from improper eating habits from parents. From ages 10-20 years, they pick up these habits which now become compulsive. From 20-30years, self realization and pier pressure from society reduces their self esteem down to the point of committing suicide.

In this insight, Community Youth Inter Alia has adopted strategies to challenge Childhood Obesity by using the following correctives.
