Texas Child Obesity Research Demonstration (CORD)

CORD is a CDC funded project designed to evaluate community-based obesity prevention and treatment programs in Austin and Houston. CORD connects the dots between families, pediatricians, schools and local youth organizations to support children’s healthy eating and active living. If successful, CORD will become a national model for medical and community practice.

Despite intensive national efforts to address childhood obesity, the epidemic persists. Recognizing the challenges, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) have called for a systems-oriented approach to address childhood obesity.

Primary Prevention – Programs designed to prevent obesity
The community-wide intervention implements obesity prevention programs at schools and at local doctors’ clinics.

选择他d Start and AISD & HISD elementary schools will implement CATCH (Coordinated Approach To School Health), a program that promotes children’s physical activity and healthy food choices.
In selected clinics pediatricians are trained in the Next Steps program, in which physicians counsel patients and families on healthy behaviors.

Secondary Prevention – Programs designed to prevent disease in high-risk children
Overweight and obese children are screened by a pediatrician and their families are invited to participate in a 12-month family-based weight management program. Community health workers connect local doctors’ offices to MEND program managers.

Weekly MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, and Do it!) classes delivered at local YMCAs. MEND is a 3-month program designed for the entire family that helps overweight children improve their health, fitness and self-esteem.
