Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives

Consumer Insight Summary
This report is a summary of the results of research carried out for the Department of Health into families' attitudes and behaviours relating to diet and activity. The research was carried out to enable interventions to promote healthy weight in children and families to be more effectively targeted and delivered. It is intended for use by obesity/health weight teams within primary care trusts (PCTs) and local authorities, but will also be of interest to anyone involved in the commissioning or implementation of initiatives aimed at encouraging families to improve their diet and/or increase their levels of activity.
