What is Shape up Somerville?
The Shape Up Somerville: Eat Smart. Play Hard intervention was led by Dr. Christina Economos and was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. It was a three year (2002-2005), environmental change intervention designed to prevent obesity in culturally diverse, high-risk, early-elementary school children.
The Shape Up team developed and implemented strategies designed to create energy balance for students in grades 1-3 in Somerville, Massachusetts.
