The Harvard Childhood Obesity Cost-Effectiveness Study (CHOICES) published Strategy Report: Creating Healthier Early Care and Education Environments, a paper using cost-effectiveness analysis to compare the costs and outcomes of incorporating Go NAPSACC into states’ Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS) for early care and education (ECE) programs. The study analyzes Go NAPSACC’s potential impact on nutrition, physical activity, & screen time policies & practices for children ages 3-5 if the program was implemented in all 50 U.S. states.
CHOICES found that Go NAPSACC is a cost-effective program with the potential to prevent over 27,000 cases of obesity over 10 years.
