Youth Fitness Case Study

Progress bar 1 of 6

Introduction

The Issue

The increasing number of overweight and obese youth is raising concerns about the overall health of the Canadian population now and in the future.

One of the many approaches to reducing the number of overweight and obese youth is to increase activity levels in that population. Youth fitness has become an important public policy issue in Canada.

The youth fitness case study will familiarize us with the issue and demonstrate how GBA+ can influence the development of public policy options to address it.
