CAMBIO (Canada - Mexico Battling Childhood Obesity) is a multidisciplinary,
international network of investigators participating in a project
to enhance research capacity in the field of Childhood Obesity in
Mexico. The network, led by Dr. Ian Janssen
(Queen's University,
Canada), and Dr. Juan López Taylor (Universidad
de Guadalajara,
Mexico), is strengthened by
researchers specialising in Obesity, Epidemiology, Physical Activity
and Health, Nutrition, Pediatrics, Population and Community Health,
Sociology, Health Surveillance, Physiology, and other research areas.
The
network promotes cooperation and knowledge transfer among educational
institutions, government ministries, and non-governmental organizations,
as well as other government, community-based, or industry-led groups
whose focus is health, nutrition, physical activity, and the promotion
of healthy communities.
Funding
for the project is provided through a Teasdale-Corti Team Grant,
from the International Development Research Centre, Canada, on behalf
of the Global Health Research Initiative.
