About the Midcourse Report
The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) along with the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, & Nutrition (PCFSN) have convened a subcommittee to review the evidence on strategies to increase physical activity among youth (ages 3-17). The subcommittee, chaired by President’s Council member Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, will present its findings in the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Midcourse Report anticipated to be released in 2013.
The report summarizes intervention strategies based on the evidence from a review-of-reviews literature review and is organized into five settings where youth live, learn, and play:
- Family and Home
- Preschool and Childcare
- School
- Primary Care
- Community
