The United States Conference of Mayors developed the Mayors' Guide to Fighting Childhood Obesity to educate mayors about specific policies they can adopt in their communities to address childhood obesity in underserved populations. The Guide has now been updated for 2009. The Guide offers action steps mayors can take to address childhood obesity and promote healthy eating/active living in their communities and provides local examples of such policies. It also contains a large resource section with information on funding opportunities, online resources, and other pertinent items of interest to mayors and their staff.

Target Audience: Grantees, Mayors and Policy Influencers
