Abstract
AbstractRates of childhood obesity have more than tripled in the last 40 years, resulting in a challenge from the public sector and various governmental institutions for the development of effective prevention/early intervention programming. Based on an extensive review of the literature, an evidence‐based, school‐wide curriculum is proposed. Promoting Universal Longevity via School–family Ecologies (PULSE) is intended to change weight imbalance behaviors via proactive and long‐term interventions directed toward all children and their families (universal prevention model) via the school setting. The authors provide a review of the literature and outline the conceptual model of PULSE. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
