The study, State-Level Estimates of Annual Medical Expenditures Attributable to Obesity , was sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control to estimate the state-by-state costs of obesity, separate from costs incurred from those related to overweight, which cumatively amounts to $93 billion. Several state legislators have been confronted with concrete numbers of how much obesity has affected their states in terms of health care costs, from $87 million in Wyoming to $7.7 billion in California. These numbers may be used by lawmakers to justify obesity related legislation touching on snack taxes, physical education standards and vending machine restrictions.

Statistical Services Child Health Assessment and Monitoring Program (CHAMP) Annual Results Questionnaire Publications The Child Health Assessment and Monitoring Program (CHAMP) survey was developed in the fall of 2004 and implemented in January 2005. CHAMP is the first survey of its kind in North Carolina to measure the health characteristics of children, ages to 17. Eligible children for the CHAMP survey are drawn each month from the BRFSS (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System) telephone survey of adults, ages 18 and older. All adult respondents with children living in their households are invited to participate in the CHAMP survey. One child is randomly selected from the household and the adult most knowledgeable about the health of the selected child is interviewed in a follow-up survey. All questions about the selected child are answered only by the most knowledgeable adult. CHAMP surveys will be revised each year to meet the child health surveillance needs of North Carolina. CHAMP, by collecting data for young children, will contribute to a seamless health data system for all North Carolina citizens from birth to old age. Questions on the CHAMP survey pertain to a wide variety of health-related topics, including breast feeding, early childhood development, access to health care, oral health, mental health, physical health, nutrition, physical activity, family involvement, and parent opinion on topics such as tobacco and childhood obesity. Collected annually, the CHAMP survey data will help monitor child health status and identify child health problems; will help evaluate child health programs and services; will help health professionals make evidence-based decisions, policies and plans; and will help monitor progress towards selected health targets, such as Healthy Carolinians 2010.

Extractions: Acknowledgements This continuing education intervention is the outcome of a collaborative effort of public health nutrition personnel in the eight southeastern states of Region IV, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Members of the Region IV Continuing Education Advisory Committee provided guidance on continuing education needs, priorities, and modes to address these needs during a 1997 video teleconference. Members emphasized the importance of public health nutrition personnel having not only an appreciation for the value of cost-effectiveness analysis, but also skills in conducting such an analysis. Also, they recommended multiple intervention modes that would limit travel barriers and promote access for all personnel. Therefore, the resulting module uses both on site and distance education formats, or print and Internet. The charge to develop the content for the module was assumed by The University of Tennessee Public Health Nutrition faculty and graduate students and Region IV State Scenario Teams. Each state Nutrition Director identified a state team to write goal-based scenarios that form a key component of the module. Target populations and nutrition-related problems were selected in relation to Healthy People 2000 objectives. State teams then wrote scenarios, or case studies, that could be used by participants to apply skills in cost effectiveness analysis. The University of Tennessee faculty and graduate students provided guidance on how to write goal-based scenarios and incorporate these into the rest of the module. Patricia Splett, PhD, RD provided consultation on the resulting module. Her book
