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 research-tested interventions for which effectiveness/efficacy has been tested in one or more research studies.
Detailed information on the Center TRT review process and the categories of interventions can be found in the methods section of the website.
