On May 8, 2012, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released a consensus report funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Accelerating Progress in Obesity Prevention: Solving the Weight of the Nation. Two-thirds of adults and one-third of children are overweight or obese. 

This report summarizes discussion and findings from the 2005 National Summit on School Design.

This mid-course report examines the research literature and provides recommendations for increasing physical activity levels of American youth across five key settings:  Schools, Preschool and Childcare, Community, Home, and Healthcare.
