Nutrition in Children and Adolescents
Knowledge Path

Introduction

This knowledge path about child and adolescent nutrition has been compiled by the MCH Library at Georgetown University. It offers a selection of current, high-quality resources that analyze data, describe public health campaigns and other promotion programs, and report on research aimed at identifying promising strategies for improving nutrition and eating behaviors within families, schools, and communities. Separate sections of the knowledge path presents resources about child care and early childhood education, food safety, food marketing to children, and food security and nutrition assistance programs. Separate briefs point to resources for families and schools. This knowledge path will be updated periodically.
