In collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Nutrition and Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases, the Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation (Center TRT) developed a process for reviewing, translating and disseminating interventions. This process can be applied to obesity prevention interventions that have been tested through research studies or have been developed and evaluated in practice.
Interventions posted on this web site go through the Center TRT review process and are recommended by expert reviewers and CDC for dissemination. Center TRT disseminates interventions in three categories: research-tested, practice-tested, and emerging.
This section of the website features emerging interventions that have been developed in practice and show promise based on their underlying theory, approach, and potential for public health impact; but lack data demonstrating effects on one or more obesity-related outcomes.
Please note: Many of the interventions disseminated as “emerging interventions” were identified through the Early Assessment of Programs and Policies to Prevent Childhood Obesity (EA). For more information about the Center TRT process for disseminating EA project interventions, see PDF below.
Detailed information on the Center TRT review process and the categories of interventions can be found in the methods section of the website.
