Sumario:"When public health campaigns to buckle up or quit smoking were unsuccessful, legal strategies -- such as fines for not wearing a seatbelt and restrictions on where smoking could occur -- were used to reduce the number of health issues, injuries, and deaths caused by these behaviors. Childhood obesity is another health concern that remains a substantial problem in the U.S. Could legal restrictions and regulations also help combat childhood obesity? IOM held a workshop October 21, 2010, to bring together stakeholders to discuss the current and future legal strategies aimed at combating childhood obesity."--Publisher's description.
