Dr. Stephanie Silvera to Moderate Session at Roundtable on Obesity Solutions

Dr. Stephanie Silvera, Professor in the Public Health Department, will moderate a session at a Roundtable on Obesity Solutions on Friday, October 29, 2021. This 1.5-day public virtual workshop is one of a three-part series and explores how to advance strategies for sustainable systems-wide changes that leverage the three drivers (biased mental models/social norms, structural racism, and health communications) introduced in the first two workshops that can inform actionable priorities for individuals, organizations, and policymakers to reduce both incidence and prevalence of obesity.

The event is hosted by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, providing independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society.
