On June 5–6, 2008, 47 researchers, policy-makers and leaders from community-based organizations, professional associations and businesses gathered in Washington, D.C. to discuss the childhood obesity epidemic and strategies for reversing the trend in the African-American community. The resulting report is Reshaping our Communities, Reclaiming Our Health: African Americans Define Strategies for Healthy Kids and Healthy Neighborhoods. This report provides first steps toward solving the childhood obesity crisis in African-American communities.
