Email obesity@gwu.edu if you are interested in learning more about Weigh In or receiving hard copies of the materials.

The toolkit was originally created for the Philadelphia Health Initiative (PHI) but its content can be used by any community leader across the country. The PHI is a group of local, multi-sector stakeholders that have come together to improve obesity and diabetes prevention efforts and to create sustainable interventions in Philadelphia. And, just for Philadelphia families, the Kit includes a local resource list that identifies healthy places to go and things to do in the city.
