I have received an inquiry for information related to the following:
Please respond to David directly at "Ramsey, David C." <[log in to unmask]>

"I am writing you to ask for some information. I am planning
a session titled "A Socio-ecological Approach to Diagnosing the Problems of
Obesity" at the Mid-Year Meeting of the Society for Public Health Education,
to be held in Minneapolis June 17-20. This will be a panel of 4 or 5
15-minute presentations. I would like to get a Canadian perspective on the
non-clinical (i.e. social and environmental) approaches to the topic of
obesity prevention. Can you give me a reference or two?
I am not certain that we can pay their way to the meeting, so that is also
a consideration. But since this meeting is so close to Canada, and the
theme is "Challenges in Health Promotion: Reaching Beyond Our Boundaries",
and will be in concert with the International Union of Health Education, I
would very much like to give the audience an "across the boundary"
viewpoint."
