Mathematica Article Chosen One of Five Most Influential by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
An article by Mathematica’s obesity and nutrition researchers was selected by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as one of the top five articles in 2009 that the foundation believes had a major policy impact, affected its work and thinking, or warranted attention, given the foundation’s focus on advancing the research and knowledge base for childhood obesity prevention.
The article, “Association Between School Food Environment and Practices and Body Mass Index of US Public School Children,” by Mary Kay Fox, Allison Hedley Dodd, Ander Wilson, and Phil Gleason, appeared in the February 2009 supplement to the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. The supplement featured findings from the School Nutrition Dietary Assessment-III study, which Mathematica conducted in 2005.
