AHRQ Offers Free DVDs to Help Prevent Childhood Obesity

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Department of Health and Human Services partnered with Discovery Networks to develop "Max’s Magical Delivery: Fit for Kids," a DVD aimed at combating childhood obesity.

  • Being physically active indoors and outside.

A separate section provides parents with small, achievable steps to help encourage and implement these healthy habits in their children and themselves.
