A special emphasis is put on the populations and communities in which obesity rates are highest and rising the fastest. NCCOR''s goals are to identify intervention needs, improve child obesity surveillance, improve research and evaluation methodologies, and provide national leadership to implement evidence-based practice and policy. NCCOR also works with many non-health partners to develop sustainable environmental design and food systems strategies to reach high risk populations and communities.
